It's none of your business, like you know that you abstinence based sobriety is for you, like you know that to your core and that's where you need to be. I don't get to say who needs what, right like. Who am I to say that, like you're not doing it right, like just kind of the who am I is like a good rule for me to live by, because I'm like, oh shit, I am not the one like.
What happens when traditional sobriety meets harm reduction? In this eye-opening episode of 'A is for Alcoholic', Cam joins the hosts for a heartfelt conversation about navigating recovery in a way that feels right for her. She works in harm reduction, a concept often seen as conflicting with the abstinence-based programs many people are familiar with. But as Cam shares, recovery is deeply personal and can take many forms.
This episode tackles tough topics like sexual violence and suicide, so listener discretion is advised. Cam’s humor and self-awareness shine through as she discusses the challenges of fitting in and the dangers of comparing oneself to others in recovery. The discussion also touches on the racial inequalities that have become more visible in recent years and how these impact the recovery journey. Cam emphasizes the importance of finding companionship outside of sobriety-focused spaces and defining sobriety on one's own terms.
Whether you’re new to the concept of harm reduction or looking for fresh perspectives on recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and a lot of heart.
