I was just watching something the other day- and I think it was like ex-cons, and somebody was asking about daddy issues and one of them was like: we all have daddy issues, all of us, whether you have a daddy or not or if you have many, even when you have a good dad.
Imagine turning the pain of loss into a beacon of hope. In this heartfelt episode of 'Chemical World', hosts Kenna Crampton and Maggie Seldeen dive deep into the intertwined struggles of substance abuse and mental health. September is both Recovery Month and Suicide Awareness Month, making it the perfect time for these candid conversations. They talk about how substance abuse often masks deeper mental health issues, sharing personal stories that are both touching and relatable.
One particularly moving moment comes when a host opens up about trying to find love again for their father, who battled addiction and passed away. The discussion isn't just about the struggles but also about the importance of empathy and kindness in the face of such challenges. The episode also features a poignant song, 'Sick' by Mugsy Fay, adding an emotional layer to the dialogue.
Kenna and Maggie don't shy away from tough topics like the history of drug laws, the opioid crisis, and how poverty often intersects with addiction. They wrap up by encouraging listeners to check out High Rockies Harm Reduction's calendar and invite anyone with a story to share to reach out. This episode is a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction or mental health issues, offering a blend of personal insights and broader societal reflections.
