When I tell somebody, when I give somebody tips on how to use safer, that doesn't mean that I want them to use drugs for the rest of their life.
Imagine facing a surge in local overdoses and feeling powerless against the prevailing attitudes. That's the scenario David Stoecker tackles head-on in this episode of 'Better Life in Recovery'. David, the founder of the podcast, opens up about his frustration with how recent media coverage has handled the spike in overdoses in Springfield, MO. But more importantly, he dives into harm reduction, a topic close to his heart, and explains why it’s not just practical but deeply compassionate.
David offers practical harm reduction tips like staggered drug use and syringe access, stressing these are not endorsements of drug use but essential strategies to keep people alive and prevent accidental overdoses. He also highlights the significance of coping skills, mindfulness, and meditation as tools for those on the recovery journey. Wrapping up, David calls on listeners to engage with their local recovery communities, offering support and prayers to those battling substance use disorders.
This episode is a heartfelt appeal to see harm reduction for what it truly is—a humane approach to helping people survive and thrive.
