Why are we surprised that if we use an addictive substance, we might become addicted? And then why are we shamed when the thing that we're using actually does what it's supposed to do and hooks us right.
Picture this: you're on a college campus where parties and social gatherings seem to revolve around alcohol. How do you stay sober in such an environment? In this episode of the Positive Sobriety Podcast, hosts Nate Larkin and David Hampton sit down with Rob Shearon, Program Manager for the CU Collegiate Recovery Center at the University of Colorado Boulder, to tackle this very question.
Rob brings his own experiences and expertise to the table, offering practical advice and heartfelt stories about navigating college life while maintaining sobriety. He delves into the resources available at collegiate recovery programs, shedding light on how these initiatives can provide a lifeline for students struggling with addiction.
One of the standout moments is when Rob addresses the stigma surrounding addiction, asking, 'Why are we surprised that if we use an addictive substance, we might become addicted?' His candid discussion underscores the importance of seeking help without shame. If you're a student, or know someone who is, and are grappling with addiction, this episode is a treasure trove of insights and support. Tune in to learn how to manage social events, access resources, and break free from stigma.
