We shouldn't confuse the suboxone for treatment for depression, because that's not what it's for right. Yeah, and there was one quote I heard this morning when I was re-listening to it, that I just really sums it up.
Mike and Nat return with a powerful episode that dives deep into David Poses' influential book, The Weight of Air: A Story of the Lies about Addiction and the Truth about Recovery. In this candid discussion, they explore Poses' harrowing journey through addiction and mental illness. By the age of nineteen, Poses had experienced medical detox, inpatient rehab, twelve-step programs, and even a halfway house.
Yet, his struggles continued as he grappled with the belief that his drug use was a symptom of depression, contrary to what experts told him. Over thirteen years, he faced relapse after relapse, burdened by guilt and shame until he found an evidence-based treatment that not only saved his life but allowed him to thrive. Tragically, Poses passed away in February, but his legacy lives on through his work and the insights it offers.
Mike and Nat use their review of his book as a springboard to discuss the persistent challenges of depression and anxiety in recovery. They delve into the misconception that overcoming substance abuse automatically resolves other mental health issues. The episode also features Grant's 'Big Three' segment, adding another layer of depth to the conversation.
Whether you're struggling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in the complexities of mental health and recovery, this episode offers a compassionate and thought-provoking perspective.
