Scalpels and Sobriety: The Hidden Costs of Addiction

We are living in the zombie apocalypse. Have you seen the mouth of a meth addict, the wrinkles of a 30-year-old woman who looks 50 because she smokes? I'm here to be honest with you.
Ever thought about the physical toll addiction takes on your body? In this episode of 'Urge Fix', Dr. Cyntrell Crawford previews an eye-opening series, 'Surgeon, Scalpels & Scars'. Over the next few weeks, you'll hear from two top surgeons who will share their firsthand experiences of dealing with the damage caused by drugs and alcohol. Imagine the horror of mixing scalpels with substance abuse; it's a grim reality these professionals face daily. Dr.
Crawford doesn't shy away from the stark truth—addiction is like living in a zombie apocalypse, visible in the ravaged mouths of meth users and the prematurely aged skin of smokers. But this isn't just a tale of doom and gloom. There's hope too. Surgeons play a critical role in not just treating but repairing the physical damage, offering a chance for recovery that goes beyond the emotional and psychological aspects typically focused on.
This episode underscores the importance of seeking help and highlights the Urge Fix Collaboratory community, a place where you can connect with others on similar journeys. Whether you're in active recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode serves as a powerful reminder that recovery is possible and help is within reach.
