But underneath the roots of denial, I think a lot of it has to do with stigma, or shame or embarrassment, or either for yourself or for somebody that you care about, especially if it's a child that you feel somehow responsible for, if they're struggling with an addiction.
Imagine the gut-wrenching fear of nearly losing a child to addiction. That's the reality Jeff Bertolet faced when his daughter Morgan almost succumbed to a drug overdose. In this gripping episode of 'The Bubble Hour', Jeff opens up about his family's harrowing journey through addiction and recovery. His story is both heartbreaking and hopeful, shedding light on the raw emotions and difficult decisions families face in such dire situations. But Jeff isn't alone in this conversation. Dr.
Mark Libon, Chief Clinical Officer at Gosnold, Inc., joins to share his professional insights on addiction, especially among young people. Dr. Libon’s observations about community attitudes towards drug use are eye-opening and serve as a wake-up call for many. Together, Jeff and Dr. Libon discuss the crucial role of facing denial and stigma head-on, emphasizing that these issues often stem from shame or embarrassment, particularly when a loved one is involved.
This episode also explores the importance of prevention, education, and community support in tackling addiction. By sharing these powerful stories and expert opinions, 'The Bubble Hour' aims to inspire listeners to take action and support those affected by this pervasive epidemic.
