That's such a stereotype, it's such a negative derogative term to be placing on someone, when you know whether it's alcohol, whether it's heroin, whether it's meth, whether it's food.
What’s in a name? A lot, if you ask Corey Winfield and Matt on this episode of the 217 Recovery Podcast. They dive into the heated debate over the terms 'substance abuse' versus 'substance disorder', challenging the negative labels often slapped on those struggling with addiction. Corey argues that the word 'recovery' itself can feel like a stereotype, no matter the substance involved—be it alcohol, heroin, meth, or even food.
This conversation isn't just academic; it’s personal and raw, coming from two people who have walked the path themselves. Corey and Matt don’t just stop at definitions. They share stories from their own recovery journeys, reminiscing about the good, the bad, and the downright hilarious moments. Ever heard of the game 'marry, hook up with, or kill' played in a recovery center? You will now. These anecdotes bring a human touch to the often clinical discussion of addiction and recovery.
But it’s not all fun and games. The hosts also tackle serious issues like the funding and development of treatment centers. Corey reflects on how treatment used to be just a few days long, including detox, and how much has changed since then. This mix of light-hearted banter and deep discussion makes for an episode that’s both entertaining and thought-provoking.
If you’re in recovery, know someone who is, or just want to understand more about addiction, this episode offers a fresh perspective. Corey and Matt encourage everyone to rethink their perceptions and break down the stigmas surrounding addiction recovery. Tune in for a blend of humor, honesty, and hope.
