The reality is you will die if you ingest. I believe it is, and you're hearing a lot of the like I told you earlier- the mental illness side of things to where, when you're not in the right frame of mind and you don't practice, get the help you need and practice self-care and things like that, that there is a good chance that you're going to go down a very dark road.
What does it take to turn a life marred by addiction into one of purpose and hope? Danny D'Alonzo, a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist at the Howard County Health Department, opens up about his harrowing yet inspiring journey through substance abuse and recovery. Hosted by Anthony Rivera and co-hosted by Hannah Weinsweig, this episode of 'Alter the Minds of Stigma' sheds light on the real struggles and triumphs faced by those battling addiction.
Danny's story is a raw and honest account of his experiences with dangerous substances like fentanyl and the critical role family support and self-care played in his recovery. He doesn't sugarcoat the dangers, stating bluntly, 'The reality is you will die if you ingest'. Through his candid narrative, Danny advocates for more crisis intervention centers, stressing their importance in providing timely help to those in need.
If you're looking for a story that combines brutal honesty with a message of hope, this episode offers both in spades.
