So we can kind of like, you know, break that stigma down and have those conversations. I think that's really important for families to have those conversations and to do it in a way that's non-judgmental and non-confrontational.
Ever wondered what it's like to claw your way out of the depths of addiction and come out stronger on the other side? In this compelling episode of 'Coming Up for Air', Mike Duggan, a champion of the State Without Stigma campaign and founder of Wicked Sober, opens up about his journey from addiction to long-term recovery. Mike doesn't just talk about his struggles; he shares the hope and determination that fueled his recovery and now drives his advocacy work.
His story is a raw, unfiltered look at the realities of addiction and the transformative power of support and treatment. Mike discusses the critical role family support played in his recovery and how stigma can hinder those seeking help. He also highlights the dangers of prescription drug abuse, the positive impacts of the Affordable Care Act on addiction treatment, and how social media can be a powerful tool in breaking down stigma.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting a loved one, or simply looking to understand more about addiction, Mike's insights offer a beacon of hope and a call to action for compassionate conversations around this often misunderstood issue.
