I had so much internalized stigma around my own drug use and my own drinking that I actually didn't possibly think that my drinking could be a problem.
Ever wondered what it's like to face addiction as a healthcare professional? In this episode of the Recovery Machine Podcast, registered nurse Kinnon Ross opens up about her harrowing journey through addiction, trauma, and the path to recovery. Kinnon's story is more than just a personal account; it's a powerful exploration of the internalized stigma that healthcare workers often battle when dealing with substance use disorders.
She candidly discusses the discrimination she faced and how it nearly derailed her quest for help. But Kinnon’s tale isn’t just about struggle; it’s about hope and resilience too. She highlights the crucial role of harm reduction and safe supply initiatives in supporting those with addiction. Through her eyes, you'll see how community and peer support can be lifelines in the recovery process.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of addiction within the healthcare sector and beyond. Kinnon's bravery in sharing her story challenges the stereotypes and stigmas that often cloud our perception of addiction and recovery.
