Recovery to me is more than just being able to collect a medallion saying I haven't picked up a drink or a drug in Umpteen Years.
Ever wondered if using psychedelics for healing can still be considered sobriety? Brandon Lee dives into this thought-provoking question in an eye-opening episode of 'Escaping Rock Bottom'. Joining him is the founder of Pinnacle Peak Recovery, and together they explore the unconventional use of MDMA and other psychedelics to aid trauma survivors in their recovery journeys.
The conversation kicks off with a startling revelation: comedian Kathy Griffin became an addict at 59, challenging the notion that addiction is only a young person’s struggle. This sets the stage for a broader discussion on how addiction can begin at any age and why recovery is always a better option than continuing to suffer from alcoholism. The heart of the episode lies in the debate over whether using psychedelics for therapeutic purposes fits within the traditional definition of sobriety.
Brandon and his guest share personal anecdotes and professional insights, weighing the potential benefits and drawbacks of this controversial approach. They stress the importance of individualized recovery paths, emphasizing that sobriety isn't just about collecting medallions but finding what genuinely works for each person. They also touch on some current events in the recovery world, including new financial support options for small businesses through the Small Business Association.
This episode offers a fresh perspective on addiction recovery, shedding light on alternative methods that could bring hope to those feeling stuck in conventional treatments. Whether you're curious about the role of psychedelics in healing or seeking new ways to support your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
