We need to start talking about drug use in a way that is accurate, in a way that is compassionate, and in a way that doesn't stigmatize people who use drugs.
Ever thought about how much misinformation surrounds addiction? In this eye-opening episode of 'Choose Your Struggle', Jay Shifman welcomes author and advocate David Poses for a heartfelt chat about substance misuse and recovery. David, who sadly passed away last year, opens up about his own struggles with heroin addiction and his path to recovery. His story isn't just personal; it's a call to action for better treatment and understanding of those battling addiction.
David discusses the early days of buprenorphine, a medication that played a crucial role in his recovery, and argues for its wider availability. He passionately advocates for breaking down the harmful myths and stigma that often surround drug use. The conversation also touches on the importance of mental health in the recovery process and the need for more support for those dealing with co-occurring disorders.
Jay and David’s discussion is both enlightening and compassionate, making it clear that addiction is not a choice but a disease that requires empathy and proper care. If you're looking to understand addiction from a deeply human perspective, this episode is a must-listen.
