When it came to relationships, I went through three divorces during that year span. I was just loving and leaving, and it was all because of the addiction.
Imagine battling an addiction while working in a profession surrounded by the very substances you're struggling with. That's the reality Tish Marsh faced as a pharmacist grappling with opioid addiction. In this episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', host Duane Osterlind sits down with Tish to unpack her compelling journey from addiction to recovery and beyond.
Tish opens up about how her addiction began after medical procedures and how she managed to function at a high level in her demanding job, even while dealing with her own dependency issues. One of the key takeaways from her story is the importance of separating oneself from the addiction. Tish emphasizes that addiction is a chronic disease, not a moral failing, and learning this was crucial in her recovery.
She also discusses how her background in pharmacy provided her with unique insights into her addictive behaviors, helping her navigate the path to sobriety. But Tish's story doesn't end with her own recovery. She has turned her experience into a mission to help others, particularly the homeless community, through her YouTube channel, Ask Pharmacist Tish. There, she interviews individuals affected by homelessness, shedding light on the intertwined issues of addiction and mental health.
Tish also talks about her upcoming course, 'The Foundation Needed to End Your Loved One's Addiction', aimed at educating families on how to better support their loved ones struggling with addiction. Through her advocacy and educational efforts, Tish is making a significant impact, proving that recovery is not just about overcoming addiction but also about finding purpose and giving back to the community.
Tune in to hear Tish's inspiring journey and gain valuable insights into the mindset shifts necessary for recovery.
