In my country we have restaurants in our country is called Kafana and people are there like from 3pm till 3am. We don't have overdoses, we don't know what is that? And, uh, I don't know that they're in denial.
Imagine a world where addiction is misunderstood and resources are scarce. In this eye-opening episode of the OD Movement Podcast, host Nick Kastros welcomes his first international guest, The Phoenix Man, a blogger from Macedonia. Together, they paint a vivid picture of the addiction landscape in Macedonia, where substance abuse is often swept under the rug. The Phoenix Man opens up about his personal experiences and the cultural nuances that shape addiction in his country.
He sheds light on the alarming lack of education and resources available for those struggling with substance abuse. His candid revelations highlight a pressing need for community support and better educational initiatives. One striking moment in the episode is when The Phoenix Man describes the typical scene at local restaurants, or 'Kafana', where people spend hours drinking without acknowledging the dangers of addiction. His observations raise important questions about denial and the urgent need for change.
This episode isn't just a conversation; it's a call to action. By sharing his vision for changing perceptions and improving support systems, The Phoenix Man encourages listeners to rethink how addiction is addressed globally. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of addiction culture in Macedonia and explore strategies for fostering global recovery efforts.
