Whether you're a person on an addiction sobriety path or you know someone who is, we are here to talk about our journey with it and, more importantly, we want to help end the stigma and shame of alcoholism and we want to bring some hope and laughter along the way too.
What does it take to break the stigma surrounding alcoholism? In this episode, Dr Marry and DD open up about their personal battles with addiction and their recent experiences at the Recovery Reinvented conference in North Dakota. This isn't just a chat; it's a deep dive into how community and policy can transform the narrative around alcoholism. They’re joined by Dr.
Valerie Earnshaw, a researcher specializing in shame and stigma, and Adam Martin from the F5 Project, who both bring valuable perspectives to the table. The conversation touches on the crucial role of creating safe spaces where people can begin their journey to sobriety without fear of judgment. Dr Marry and DD also discuss the power of language and how changing the way we talk about addiction can lead to real change.
The episode doesn't shy away from tough topics, including the impact of stereotypes on Native American communities and how these assumptions perpetuate stigma. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complexities of addiction and the importance of supportive communities in recovery. It’s an eye-opener that underscores how collective effort can pave the way for a more compassionate approach to addiction.
