Ken Anderson on Harm Reduction: A Fresh Take on Alcohol Dependency

When we look at things from the harm reduction perspective, we say abstinence is one way to reduce harm. Well, I'm coming from, you know, sort of someone who was in AA a long time and the harm reduction for alcohol for me was a new concept and a refreshing one.
What if the road to recovery didn't have to be all or nothing? In this episode of 'Safe Recovery', host Monica Richardson chats with Ken Anderson, the founder of Hams Harm Reduction and author of 'How to Change Your Drinking'. Anderson introduces listeners to harm reduction, a flexible approach that offers an alternative to the rigid abstinence-only model of traditional 12-step programs.
He shares his insights on how harm reduction can be a more realistic and compassionate method for many people struggling with alcohol and drug overuse. Anderson emphasizes the importance of positive reinforcement and the role of blogging as a supportive tool for those on their recovery journey. He also discusses the controversial issue of mandating violent criminals to attend AA meetings, arguing that harm reduction provides a more humane and effective solution.
If you're looking for new perspectives on managing alcohol dependency, this episode offers valuable insights into how harm reduction can empower individuals to take control of their recovery in a way that works best for them.
