Imagine a world where we openly discuss the topics that make us uncomfortable. In this episode of 'High While Clean', host Eric McCoy sits down with Jay Shifman, the voice behind the 'Choose Your Struggle' podcast, to do just that. They dive headfirst into the conversations many shy away from—substance abuse, mental health, and other forbidden subjects. This isn't your typical interview; it's an honest dialogue aimed at breaking down barriers and fostering understanding.
Jay and Eric explore why open communication is crucial, especially when dealing with issues that society often sweeps under the rug. They tackle how harmful narratives around substance abuse and mental health can perpetuate stigma and hinder recovery. Ever wondered why traditional recovery programs sometimes fall short? The duo sheds light on their limitations and discusses the potential of alternative recovery approaches. The conversation doesn't stop there.

Jay's insight that 'sometimes we come across individuals who may think differently than us but are seeking the exact same thing' resonates throughout the discussion, emphasizing the need for empathy and understanding. If you're curious about how low-level solutions can make a big difference or why societal change is essential in addressing substance misuse, this episode is a must-listen.
