Believe you deserve something different than the chaos, the pain and misery, the self loathing that addiction offers and will manifest inside of you and on to you somehow, because it has to keep you removed from self love with something greater than you.
Prescription medications in addiction recovery can be a hot-button topic, but Jim Rachels and Vince M. aren't shying away from it. In this episode of 'Addicts Anonymous', they dive into the complexities and controversies surrounding medication-assisted treatment. Jim and Vince open up about their own experiences with prescription meds, breaking down the stigma often found in the recovery community. They stress that while medication can be a crucial part of recovery, it’s not a silver bullet.
Therapy, counseling, and a strong support system are just as vital. The conversation gets personal when Vince shares his struggles with family members who didn’t believe in addiction as a disease and were against his use of medication. Both hosts agree on the importance of distancing yourself from toxic influences and surrounding yourself with supportive people. They also touch on methadone and suboxone, highlighting their potential benefits and risks. The key takeaway?
Recovery is deeply personal, and what works for one person might not work for another. Jim and Vince emphasize self-love, self-care, and finding the right resources to support your unique journey.
