Substance use is a symptom to something deeper.
Ever found yourself confused about the difference between substance dependence and abuse? This episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast is here to clear things up. Hosted by the ever-knowledgeable Coach Blu Robinson, a licensed mental health therapist and certified substance use disorder counselor, this session also features Marisa Robinson, the Athletic Director and a Certified Recreational Therapist. Together, they dive deep into these critical distinctions and much more.
In this open-topic episode, listeners get the chance to submit their own questions, making the discussion highly interactive and relevant. Coach Blu explains that dependence means needing more of a substance to achieve the same effect and experiencing withdrawal symptoms if it’s taken away. On the flip side, substance abuse involves using a substance without necessarily being dependent on it. But it's not just about definitions; it’s about understanding the emotional triggers and deeper issues that often drive substance use.
Marisa adds another layer by emphasizing the role of family dynamics in both addiction and recovery. She points out that listening and emotional connections within families can significantly impact the recovery process. The duo also highlights the importance of community support, positive principles, and emotional awareness in overcoming addiction. If you're navigating your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
Tune in to learn how addressing underlying issues can pave the way for lasting sobriety. It’s an episode packed with empathy, understanding, and actionable steps to help you or your loved ones turn a mess into a message of recovery.
