Unresolved grief does lead to addiction and early death by suicide or overdose, and it's one of the top three.
Ever wondered how to navigate the choppy waters of addiction and mental health? In this episode of 'Get In The Herd', Nathan Mitchell and Honesty Liller sit down with Anne Moss Rogers, a writer, blogger, and professional speaker who has turned her personal tragedy into a mission of hope. Anne Moss, the voice behind the blog 'Emotionally Naked', opens up about her son Charles's struggle with addiction and his tragic suicide.
She shares insights from her book, 'Diary of a Broken Mind', and emphasizes the critical need for open conversations about addiction and mental health. One of the episode's standout moments is Anne Moss's call for honesty in discussing these tough topics. She argues that silence can be deadly, urging families to speak up and seek help without shame. The conversation also touches on the importance of developing healthy coping mechanisms, especially for young people.
Anne Moss believes that many turn to substances due to a lack of problem-solving skills and coping strategies. The discussion doesn't shy away from prevention either. Anne Moss highlights the role of recovery high schools in providing a safe space for students battling addiction. She also talks about the significance of addressing unresolved grief, which she identifies as a major factor contributing to addiction and early death by suicide or overdose.
Anne Moss leaves listeners with a hopeful message: find joy in the small things and focus on the present moment. Whether it's listening to birds chirping or spending time with loved ones, these simple pleasures can be powerful tools in the journey toward healing. This episode is a poignant reminder that while addiction and mental health issues are daunting, honest conversations and community support can make all the difference.
