We all have the brain chemistry to be addicted, and most of us have been addicted in one form or another, dependent on something: shopping, social media, fast food, math, whatever.
Ever wondered what it's like to be at the forefront of reporting on America's opioid crisis? In this episode of 'Not Your Average IV User', Max Liles sits down with Sam Quinones, a journalist and author whose work has illuminated the dark corners of addiction in the U.S. Known for his award-winning book 'Dreamland', Sam brings a wealth of experience and a storyteller's heart to the conversation.
He doesn't just talk about the statistics; he dives into the human stories behind them. From the streets of Portsmouth to the communities in Kenton County, Sam shares poignant tales that highlight both the devastation and resilience found in the midst of this epidemic. He also discusses his latest book, 'The Least of Us', which delves into the rise of synthetic drugs like fentanyl and meth, painting a vivid picture of how these substances are impacting lives across the nation.
But it's not all doom and gloom. Sam offers practical advice on how individuals and communities can support those seeking recovery. He emphasizes the power of community and storytelling in fostering change, urging us to see those in recovery as valuable assets to our society. Whether you're personally affected by addiction or simply want to understand more about this pressing issue, this episode is a must-listen.
Tune in for an enlightening and heartfelt discussion that challenges preconceived notions and offers hope for a brighter future.
