How can we make it normal and okay that when someone feels anxiety, stress, pressure and depression even early on, that it's just okay and normal to go talk to a counselor, or ask for parenting help or ask for relationship advice? You know, just having someone there to relate to and just say and just see, like damn, like you were, your life revolved around drugs for however long, and now you haven't used drugs for how long.
Imagine growing up in a typical middle-class suburb, excelling in school, and heading off to college, all while quietly battling addiction. In this episode of 'The High Cost of Anonymity', Chaz B opens up about his unique experience with substance abuse and recovery. Diagnosed with ADHD as a child, Chaz was prescribed medication early on, but his journey didn't follow the usual 'down and out' narrative often associated with addiction.
Instead, he navigated a seemingly normal life while using various mood and mind-altering substances. Chaz's story is a powerful reminder that addiction doesn't always fit a stereotype. He discusses his misperceptions about what having a drug problem looked like and how he viewed prescription drugs versus street drugs. The episode also dives into the conversation around medically assisted treatment (MAT) and its role in his recovery.
With hosts Preston Moore and K Preston Moore guiding the conversation, Chaz shares his path to self-exploration, change, and recovery. This episode is not just about the struggle; it's about understanding, breaking stigmas, and finding hope.
