There's something greater than me and ain't no doubt about it... We're using heroin, I'm hanging on that scene, but then you know we'll be degrading a person over here that's smoking crack. It's far from a moral problem.
Is it fair to label people who use drugs as 'bad'? The Willow Center Podcast kicks off Season 3 by tackling this very question. In this eye-opening episode, host Chase Cotten sits down with Minkah from Multiple Pathways to Recovery, LLC, to shatter the myth that drug users are inherently immoral. Minkah shares his personal journey through addiction and recovery, shedding light on how trauma often plays a pivotal role in substance use.
He emphasizes that addiction is a complex brain disease, not a moral failing. This episode dives deep into the science behind addiction, exploring how the brain changes and what it takes to rebuild one's life in recovery. Minkah also discusses the transformative power of peer recovery coaching and the importance of finding a recovery path that works for each individual.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply seeking to understand addiction better, this episode offers valuable insights and compassionate perspectives.
