I had to take this pain and put purpose and prevention. And that's, I think, what our country's dealing with, you know, is just so much anxiety and stress and depression.
Cammie Wolf Rice knows the devastating impact of the opioid epidemic all too well. As a mother who lost her son to opioid addiction, she has channeled her grief into a mission to combat this crisis. In this episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', host Joanie Sigal sits down with Cammie to discuss her journey from heartbreak to advocacy.
Cammie shares the painful story of her son's struggle with addiction, which began in childhood and ended tragically when he was just 32 years old. Rather than being consumed by sorrow, Cammie chose to fight back. She now works tirelessly with various nonprofit organizations, including her own, to raise awareness about opioid misuse and promote alternative pain management strategies. Her efforts extend to speaking engagements, journal publications, and an upcoming book titled 'The Flight: My Opioid Journey'.
Throughout the conversation, Cammie emphasizes the critical need for education and prevention, especially in rural areas where access to healthcare is limited. She also highlights the importance of supporting those battling addiction and their families. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of one mother's determination to make a difference, offering hope and practical advice for anyone affected by the opioid crisis.
