Some people can slip right into the moderation groove with relative ease, I think if you catch a problem drinker in the early stages of problem drinking and get their awareness to the point where they realize they are over-drinking or putting themselves in harm's way, or others in harm's way, such as drunk driving, at that point in life, the habitual over-drinking isn't so ingrained as it becomes later on in life.
Imagine having the power to choose your own path to recovery. In this episode of Harm Reduction Radio, Kenneth Anderson chats with two trailblazers in the field of addiction treatment. Jim Mergens, the executive director of Moderation Management, and Walter Cavalieri, the executive director of the Canadian Harm Reduction Network, bring their unique perspectives to the table. They dive into early-stage problem drinking and how cognitive behavioral therapy can help people regain control.
Mergens emphasizes the ease with which some individuals can adopt moderation before their drinking habits become deeply entrenched. Cavalieri sheds light on the often-overlooked public health issues surrounding harm reduction, such as the stigma associated with crack pipes. This episode is packed with valuable insights on personal choice and innovative approaches to tackling substance abuse. Whether you're looking to moderate your drinking or support someone who is, this conversation offers a refreshing take on harm reduction and recovery.
