I want to give people the experience, like to share the experience that I've had, but I also want to know the science behind it and all of that.
Imagine battling addiction before you even hit your twenties. Meredith, a 22-year-old with over three years of sobriety under her belt, takes us through her raw and compelling journey in this episode. She opens up about the chaotic moments that led her to seek recovery and the unwavering determination that has kept her clean since October 17, 2018.
Meredith doesn't just share her personal struggles; she also dives into the science of addiction, thanks to her studies in substance abuse disorders. This blend of lived experience and academic insight makes her story both relatable and enlightening. Meredith also highlights the importance of community support, emphasizing how crucial it is to have a strong network. She discusses her volunteer work with The Matt Adams Foundation, a nonprofit that provides life-saving naloxone kits and financial assistance for treatment programs.
Through her involvement, she underscores the importance of harm reduction and breaking down the stigma surrounding addiction. If you're looking for an honest, no-holds-barred account of addiction recovery, Meredith's story is one you won't want to miss.
