So I wanted to get out there that grief is okay and it's normal. If you can even find a facility to take you, they're pushing you in and pushing you out as fast as you can, and it's not enough time to get to the juice of it, to get to the bottom, to the deep inner soul, like I'm only on my real, I say, healing journey for Two Years now, and I got a lot more to go, and I've been doing the work for Years.
How do we create a safer world for those battling addiction and mental illness? In this episode of 'The Peace On Drugs', Aaron Akulis sits down with Chelsea and Suzanne, the voices behind the Stiicky Eddie Podcast. They dive into the raw realities of addiction and substance use disorder, sharing personal stories and hard-earned wisdom.
Chelsea opens up about her journey through grief after losing her husband, which inspired her to build a platform aimed at supporting others facing similar struggles. The discussion doesn't shy away from tough topics, like the flaws in addiction treatment facilities and the heavy stigma that still surrounds addiction. They also explore the potential benefits of psychedelics for mental health, offering a glimmer of hope in an often dark landscape.
As they navigate through these conversations, they touch on the war on drugs and its detrimental impact on those suffering from addiction. With public perception slowly shifting towards drug decriminalization, this episode is a beacon for anyone looking to understand more about addiction, trauma, and the path to healing.
