Being a nurse in quote unquote recovery, I found that a really lonely place to be and I just couldn't understand why nobody else was talking about it.
Imagine being a nurse, dedicated to saving lives, and finding yourself battling an opioid addiction. That's Bill Kinkle's story. In this episode of the LPP Podcast, Bill opens up to Zach Rhoads about his tumultuous journey through addiction and recovery. Despite his dedication to his profession, Bill lost his nursing license while seeking help for his addiction.
This episode dives deep into the challenges he faced, from navigating a healthcare system that often stigmatizes addiction to confronting the expectations placed on him by mandatory 12-step programs that clashed with his personal beliefs. Bill's candid discussion sheds light on the importance of harm reduction and the need for more inclusive recovery practices. He also talks about his current advocacy work and co-hosting the 'Health Professionals in Recovery Show', aiming to support healthcare workers dealing with substance use issues.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the complexities of addiction recovery, especially within the healthcare industry.
