We're dealing with a disease that has no limits to who it affects. Those who suffer with addiction, those who pass away as a result of addiction, are human beings first, and they shouldn't be defined by their addiction.
Michelle joins the hosts of 'An Addictive Perspective' to share a deeply personal story that touches on the harsh realities of addiction. This episode dives into her experience as the mother of Jeremy, a young man who tragically lost his battle with addiction. Michelle has channeled her grief into creating 'Jeremy's Journey', a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting families affected by addiction and breaking down the stigma surrounding it.
Her narrative is not just about loss, but also about the resilience and hope that can emerge from such profound pain. The conversation covers the importance of support groups, the educational resources available to families, and the powerful symbolism of butterflies in Jeremy's Journey. Michelle's heartfelt discussion with the hosts sheds light on the often-overlooked struggles families face and underscores the necessity of compassion and understanding in addiction recovery.
If you're looking for a story that balances sorrow with hope and determination, this episode is a must-listen.
