Devon Brasher: Turning Pain into Purpose with Harm Reduction in Texas

I know West Texas harm reduction is really glad that you converted to the harm reduction way of life.
Ever wondered how a prescription for painkillers can change a life? Devon Brasher's story is a powerful testament to this harsh reality. In this episode of 'Sparked', hosted by Kira Swensen, Devon opens up about her journey from addiction to becoming a passionate advocate for harm reduction in Texas. Her story begins with prescription painkillers meant to manage her endometriosis, which spiraled into a battle with addiction.
But Devon's tale isn't just about struggle; it's about resilience, community support, and the unconditional love that helped her find her way back. She sheds light on the critical role harm reduction plays in supporting those grappling with addiction and emphasizes the importance of ending the stigma around it. This episode is a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction, offering a heartfelt look at the power of community and the impact of advocacy.
