We all of us have to do better at that, right. None of it's fucking funny, right, and I mean laughing at it's a great way to cope sometimes, and god knows I do enough of it in the show right. Man, fuck, it's tough, hey, so anyway, I'm not going to edit the shit out of this one.
Ever had one of those days where everything seems to hit you all at once? In this episode of the 'Ashes to Awesome' podcast, Chuck LaFlange opens up about a particularly tough day that led to a profound realization. After trying to help someone struggling with addiction, Chuck was struck by the uncomfortable truth that he himself was guilty of 'stigmatyping'. This term, coined by Chuck, refers to the subtle and often unconscious biases we hold against those battling addiction.
It's a raw and heartfelt episode that delves into the complexities of stigma and self-awareness. Chuck doesn't just stop at identifying the problem; he also shares practical ways to challenge these biases and better support those on their recovery journey. From coping mechanisms to the power of self-reflection and random acts of kindness, this episode is packed with insights that are both thought-provoking and deeply personal.
Whether you're navigating your own path to sobriety or supporting a loved one, Chuck's candid reflections offer a refreshing perspective on the importance of empathy and understanding. Tune in for an honest conversation that might just change the way you see yourself and others.
