Without understanding what's going on in the illness, we can write ourselves off as unworthy or unable to get better. If, on the other hand, we find out that we actually have a very specific illness, then we can start to treat it as that and understand our behaviors for what they are - symptoms of a treatable illness.
Ever felt the weight of society's judgment while battling addiction? In this eye-opening episode of 'Courage Recovery', addiction educator Roger L'Hereault tackles the pervasive issue of stigma. Roger dives into how stigma, both internal and societal, can hinder recovery and what we can do to combat it. He emphasizes understanding addiction as a treatable illness, not a moral failing, and highlights the importance of compassion for oneself and loved ones.
Roger also offers practical tips for seeking help in medical settings and discusses the transformative power of education in breaking down these barriers. With heartfelt insights and actionable advice, this episode aims to empower listeners to shed the shame and take bold steps toward healing. Tune in for a refreshing perspective that might just change how you view addiction and recovery.
