Rustie’s Journey: Chronic Pain, Addiction, and Advocacy on Straight From the Source

I really think every time I hear things about addiction now, I think that we all need to change the language around it. You know, in the judicial system, people being criminals and stuff like that- because of addiction issues, because I think it's a health issue.
Imagine facing chronic pain and addiction while trying to be a parent and an advocate for change. In this episode of 'Straight From the Source', Rustie opens up about her struggles with pharmaceutical dependence and how she manages her pain through pharmacotherapy. Rustie’s story isn’t just about her battles; it’s also about her relentless drive to challenge societal views on addiction and push for better support systems.
She shares candid insights into parenting through addiction, making this episode both powerful and educational. If you’re looking for a raw, honest discussion that challenges stereotypes and offers hope, Rustie’s journey is one you won’t want to miss.
