I think the main goal of harm reduction is to just save lives.
In this engaging episode of 'At The CCC', hosts Anthony, Jordan, and LouiLou tackle the ongoing debate between abstinence and harm reduction in recovery. Broadcasting from the Castro Country Club in San Francisco, the trio invites listeners into their candid discussion about these contrasting approaches. As they explore the tension between harm reduction and abstinence, they share personal experiences and reflect on the nuances of recovery within the queer community.
Anthony and LouiLou find themselves on opposite sides of the debate, sparking a lively conversation that is both relatable and informative. Jordan adds depth to the discussion by examining how harm reduction strategies aim to save lives through practical measures like needle exchanges and drug testing. The episode delves into the idea that harm reduction isn't just about survival but can be a stepping stone towards abstinence for some.
The hosts also highlight the unique challenges faced by queer individuals in recovery, emphasising the importance of compassionate and non-judgmental care. The episode is peppered with humour and light-hearted moments, making it an enjoyable listen despite the serious subject matter. Whether you're new to recovery or have been on the journey for years, this episode offers valuable perspectives and insights into the diverse paths people take towards sobriety.
So why not join Anthony, Jordan, and LouiLou as they bridge the divide in recovery? You'll find their honest and open dialogue both refreshing and thought-provoking.
