The Fall: Navigating Opiate Addiction Through Fiction

I have so many people who say: you know, I relapse, I'm going to punish myself. So many people start from not being able to say that I deserve love, I deserve kindness, I deserve to work hard in my sobriety and to enjoy my life.
Imagine a world where your favorite fictional characters grapple with real-life issues like addiction and recovery. In this episode of 'The Forbidden Forest', Rho and James use transformative fiction to explore the harrowing journey of opiate addiction.

Alongside Rho, James provides thoughtful insights and support, making the conversation both engaging and enlightening. But this episode isn't just about the dark side of addiction.
