For me, all of these drugs and substances were because of the way I thought. And I don't think they're doing us any justice.
How does one grapple with the shadow of heroin addiction? In this episode of 'Sober in the City', host Debbie Strand and her guests tackle this tough topic head-on. They share their own harrowing experiences and the roadblocks they faced while trying to reclaim their lives. The conversation gets particularly poignant when they discuss the tragic death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman and the lurking dangers of fentanyl-laced heroin.
But it’s not all doom and gloom; there’s a silver lining as they delve into the broader societal issues, like the social acceptability of alcohol and prescription drugs, which often serve as gateways to harder substances. You'll hear about the comprehensive services available for those seeking help and the transformative power of community support.
