So having that removed allows me to have a future, and that's something for a long time I didn't think I was going to have, or I didn't consider it, and you'll hear that often from people who have gotten back to a place where they can kind of get their bearings again and they look around like, huh, I can start making decisions now that actually affect me long-term, which is quite a luxury after years of not being able to do so.
Ever wondered what truly defines addiction? Nathan McLean and Corey Williams, hosts of the Recovery Machine Podcast, tackle this head-on in their latest episode. Drawing from their own experiences as former healthcare workers who have battled addiction, they explore whether addiction is a disease, a choice, or a bit of both. They dig into how genetics, personality, environment, and trauma contribute to substance abuse problems.
But it’s not all theory; they also share practical strategies for overcoming addiction, like setting boundaries and practicing self-care. The episode doesn't shy away from tough topics like the toxic drug crisis and the need for safe consumption sites. If you're grappling with addiction or know someone who is, this episode offers a compassionate, well-rounded look at the issue.
