I think it's really important for people to understand that abstinence is not the only way, and I feel like we put people in boxes and we set them up for failure.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn your life around after hitting rock bottom? In this compelling episode of 'Showing Up with Asher Gottesman', YouTuber Jen Cutting opens up about her incredible journey from addiction to recovery. Jen is not just a survivor; she’s a Certified Addiction Recovery Coach, a Certified Recovery Peer Advocate, and a Rape Crisis Counselor. Her story is one of resilience, faith, and the power of community.
Jen talks candidly about her experiences with drugs and suboxone in prison, even sharing the heart-wrenching moment of having her daughter while incarcerated. She dives into the importance of faith in her recovery journey and sheds light on the dangers of substances like fentanyl and meth. But Jen’s story doesn’t stop at her own recovery; she’s now a Narcan trainer and harm reduction advocate, helping others find their path to sobriety.
What makes Jen’s perspective unique is her advocacy for harm reduction and her belief that recovery isn't a one-size-fits-all journey. She challenges the traditional notion that abstinence is the only way to recover, pushing for a more inclusive definition that embraces various methods of staying sober. Jen also highlights the crucial connection between mental illness and addiction, urging for a compassionate approach to treatment. Through her raw and honest account, Jen encourages listeners to set both short-term and long-term goals.
She emphasizes the importance of showing up for oneself and for the community. Whether you’re struggling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply looking for an inspiring story of transformation, this episode offers a powerful message of hope and empowerment.
