Miss Meg's Road to Recovery: Embracing a Unique Path
Now I never did the abstinence based approach, so I didn't have really people telling me that that wasn't the right move.
Ever wondered if there's more than one way to conquer addiction? Meet Miss Meg, who brings a fresh perspective to recovery on this episode of Friends in Recovery. Instead of the usual path, Miss Meg has crafted her own journey, mixing traditional and alternative methods. The episode kicks off with a fun game of 'Dealer's Choice', setting the stage for Miss Meg to share her story.
She dives into her struggles with addiction, particularly focusing on her experience coming off Vivitrol. But what sets her apart is her turn to CBD oil, guided by the research of Yasmin Hurd at Mount Sinai in New York, to manage her opioid cravings. Miss Meg’s approach isn’t about abstinence; it’s about finding what works best for her, and it’s been a game-changer.
Throughout the chat, the crew also touches on cannabis-assisted psychotherapy and its potential benefits for depression and anxiety. They emphasize that recovery is deeply personal and that what works for one person might not work for another. It’s a reminder that there are many roads to healing. This episode also highlights the ripple effects of addiction on families and the urgent need for more diverse recovery options.
The Friends in Recovery community stands as a testament to fighting the stigma surrounding addiction and advocating for more inclusive recovery paths. So, if you’re looking for an inspiring story that challenges the conventional recovery narrative, Miss Meg’s journey is a must-listen. Her story is a beacon of hope, showing that with determination and the right support, anyone can find their way to a healthier life.
