It used to be that people would often depend on...if they were out in public, like you, were driving a car and you didn't have cell phones. People are doing it, you know, they know, but a lot of people.
Ever thought about how the devices we can't live without might be aiding drug addiction? In this thought-provoking episode of the Sober Grind Podcast, hosts Pesh and Bill tackle the complex relationship between cell phones, social media, and substance abuse. They shed light on how these technological tools, while incredibly useful, have also made it disturbingly easy for addicts to access drugs and for dealers to distribute them.
The hosts emphasize the crucial role parents play in monitoring their children's phone usage and discuss how technology can both hinder and help in the recovery process. One startling revelation is that some addicts are ordering drugs through social media apps, often paid for by unsuspecting parents. This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the intersection of technology and addiction, offering valuable insights into how we can harness tech for good while being vigilant about its darker aspects.
Whether you're a parent, a loved one of an addict, or simply curious about the impact of our digital lives on addiction, this episode provides a balanced view of the risks and benefits.
