But I mean she was so just understanding and compassionate and I, you know, really, in retrospect, I'm not the least bit surprised, but you know, I'm still very aware of how fortunate I am, and you know, it's just kind of everything after that, like it was, it was almost too easy the way that, like, I found an agent and you know, I queried one publisher and you know, things just happen really fast.
Imagine battling addiction and feeling let down by traditional recovery methods. That's the reality David Poses, a writer, speaker, and activist, shares in this eye-opening episode of 'Tapping Into The Human'. Hosted by Alex Colyer, this conversation dives into David's journey and his book, 'The Weight of Air'. Poses pulls no punches as he critiques conventional recovery models and shines a light on the benefits of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT).
He opens up about his personal struggle with heroin addiction and how buprenorphine played a crucial role in his path to recovery. But it's not just about medication; David and Alex explore the broader issues of harm reduction, safe consumption sites, and the persistent stigma around drug use. They stress the importance of honest communication and fostering empathy in addiction treatment.
If you're curious about alternative approaches to recovery or want to hear a raw, personal story that challenges the status quo, this episode is for you.
