If someone's listening to this podcast, or you know a person who's struggling, or maybe a family member, what would be the one thing you'd want to tell them? Yeah, you know, be honest, but know you're on it.
Imagine hiding a struggle so deep, it consumes your every thought. That's the reality for many facing addiction. In this heartfelt episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast, host Duane Osterlind revisits an enlightening conversation with the late David Poses, a writer, speaker, and relentless advocate for mental health and addiction recovery. Poses' life was a testament to resilience, having battled addiction for years while concealing his pain from the world.
His book, 'The Weight of Air: A Story About the Lies of Addiction and the Truth of Recovery', offers a raw look into his journey and the flawed treatment models he encountered. David discovered that sobriety is just the beginning; true recovery starts with healing the wounds that lead to addiction in the first place. He found solace in buprenorphine, an opioid that helped him break free from heroin's grip.
Throughout this episode, Poses emphasizes the importance of community support and honesty in recovery. He delves into the biological aspects of addiction and warns against self-medication's dangers. His message is clear: addiction is not a moral failing but a complex issue requiring a compassionate, personalized approach. This episode is a poignant reminder that breaking the stigma around addiction can pave the way for effective treatment and lasting recovery.
Tune in to hear David's inspiring story and gain valuable insights into finding hope amidst the darkness.
