Meth Resurgence: A Sobering Reality Check

Listen, friends, brothers and sisters in recovery. It's time to step up to the plate. It's time to forget about anonymity, personal anonymity, and start sharing your stories of recovery publicly. Recovery works, and as long as we hide in the basements of our churches and meeting halls, afraid to talk about our success rates, people aren't going to know it works.
Have you noticed meth making a dangerous comeback? In this eye-opening episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, tackles the alarming resurgence of methamphetamine. Using an article by Frances Robles from The New York Times, Monty sheds light on the meth epidemic sweeping through Portland, Oregon, and beyond. This isn't just a local issue; it's a national crisis that demands urgent attention.
Monty brings in expert perspectives to discuss the drug's devastating impact and the crucial steps needed to combat its spread. While the opioid crisis has dominated headlines, meth has quietly crept back into our communities, more potent and deadly than ever. Meth-related deaths now outnumber those from heroin in Oregon, and the purity and availability of meth have reached unprecedented levels.
The episode dives into the shift from domestic meth labs to Mexican drug cartels flooding the market with ready-made product. Public health experts warn that meth's resurgence is being overshadowed by the opioid epidemic, leading to a lack of adequate response. This episode is a wake-up call for public awareness and action. It stresses the importance of sharing recovery stories and advocating for those battling addiction.
Monty ends with a heartfelt call to action: if recovery works, we need to let people know. Hiding in church basements won't help anyone. Tune in to understand the gravity of this crisis and learn how you can make a difference.
