I really I've said that a lot myself and I actually came into this field with a big stigma around harm reduction because I chose an abstinence route.
Imagine a world where every struggling individual has access to the support they need. In this episode of the 'Lifeboat Addiction Recovery Cast', hosts Christian and Nic sit down with Julia Miller, one of the founding members of Lansing Punks with Lunch. Julia’s organization is making waves by providing food, clothing, and other essentials to people experiencing homelessness and addiction. This conversation isn’t just about handing out lunches; it’s about creating a lifeline for those who need it most.
Julia shares her journey from addiction to recovery, highlighting how she transitioned from an abstinence-only mindset to embracing harm reduction strategies. She talks about the practical steps her organization takes to prevent addiction and reduce harm among the unsheltered community. The discussion covers a range of topics, from the stigma attached to addiction to the lack of resources available for those in need. The hosts and Julia also delve into the importance of compassionate policies that prioritize rehabilitation over punishment.
They explore different treatment models and discuss how current policies often fail to address the root causes of addiction and homelessness. Julia’s insights into the sociopolitical dynamics that shape addiction policies are both eye-opening and thought-provoking. If you’re interested in understanding how community-driven initiatives can make a real difference, this episode is a must-listen. It’s a heartfelt conversation that underscores the importance of empathy, support, and community in combating addiction.
