We're all in this together and none of us are alone. If you're an addict like I am, we've seen way darker days. Doctors are not allowed to be on suboxone and practice medicine, but you're allowed to be a truck driver, an airline pilot, a judge, the president of The United States, but really can't practice medicine. Well, I'm more concerned with the airline pilots if they can't drink. I really think we need new ways of talking to these kids.
Bob Forrest and Chuk are back with another riveting episode of the 'Don't Die Podcast'. In Episode 120, they tackle the complex world of drug addiction and treatment, shedding light on the often misleading narratives spun by politicians and big pharma. This episode is a rollercoaster of topics, from comparing cheating in baseball to the use of Suboxone in addiction treatment, to pondering what on earth Trump might be sniffing.
Listeners will hear from a variety of voices, including Dave from Dopey, the ever-insightful Evan Haines, and the inspiring Gloria Scott. Jason’s story adds a personal touch, while the musings of Herbert Selby Jr. provide food for thought on the mystery of solutions in recovery. Bob and Chuk don’t shy away from the quirky and the mundane either. They chat about socialization in schools, the oddities of peeing in the yard, and even touch on cancer.
Through it all, they emphasize the power of community and the interconnectedness of our lives. As Bob poignantly puts it, 'We're all in this together and none of us are alone'. This episode is perfect for anyone looking for a raw, honest discussion on addiction, recovery, and the societal factors that influence them.
Whether you’re dealing with addiction yourself, supporting a loved one, or just curious about these critical issues, Bob and Chuk offer a refreshing perspective that’s both enlightening and deeply human.
