Essentially, people's power's taken away, like their own power's taken away, and they always look outside themselves for the resolution to their addiction or to get help, and because the people that are offering the support don't understand that they have to take control of that situation themselves before they will get better.
Imagine a community coming together to fight the grip of addiction. In this episode of 'Recovery Is Possible', Michael Van Meter sits down with Sharon Webster from Recovery Dundee, a Scottish organization dedicated to battling addiction and fostering recovery. Sharon shares the unique hurdles faced by those in Dundee, emphasizing the importance of community-driven support. The conversation dives into the stigma surrounding addiction, the need for advocacy, and the delicate balance of personal responsibility in recovery.
Sharon also touches on the controversial topic of opiate-based treatments and the role genetics play in addiction. Throughout their chat, both Michael and Sharon highlight the profound impact addiction has on communities and the essential nature of personal connections in the recovery journey. They wrap up on a hopeful note, discussing how hope and activism can drive change and support those struggling with addiction.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of the power of community and the relentless fight against addiction.
