The shame and secrecy that shroud this disease are just as deadly as the disease itself.
What role does anonymity play in addiction recovery? Is it a shield or a barrier? In this episode of 'Recovery in the Middle Ages', Mike and Nat dive into these questions through the lens of the documentary 'The Anonymous People'. This 2013 film suggests that the secretive nature of 12-step programs has kept many recovery stories hidden, allowing media stereotypes to dominate public perception. The hosts debate whether this anonymity helps or hinders the fight against addiction stigma.
Alongside this, they examine the disease model of addiction and its implications for those in recovery. Mike and Nat also share their own experiences, including how they talk to their kids about addiction and manage their 'alcoholic voice'. This episode offers a mix of personal anecdotes, historical context, and modern perspectives on addiction recovery. If you're curious about how anonymity shapes recovery or want to hear fresh takes on long-standing issues, this episode is for you.
