William Cope Moyers on Shattering Addiction Stigmas and Embracing Recovery
“If we are not willing to talk about addiction the same way we talk about covid, or the same way we talk about breast cancer, or the same way we talk about hiv aids, then we're never going to really be able to get beyond where we are.”
Andrea welcomes William Cope Moyers, the VP of Public Affairs & Community Relations at Hazelden Betty Ford, for an eye-opening conversation about addiction and recovery. As the son of journalist Bill Moyers, William shares his personal journey through addiction, offering a powerful testament that addiction knows no boundaries. His candid discussion covers hitting rock bottom, the critical differences between sobriety and recovery, and the essential role of addressing family trauma in overcoming addiction.
William also dives into the prevalence of co-occurring disorders and the impact of social media on addiction, urging the importance of open dialogue to combat stigma. This episode is a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction or supporting someone who is, providing both inspiration and practical insights.
