Today we discuss how the stigma of addiction prevents us from sharing our stories with those closest to us. And, how this leads to the feeling of isolation that typically comes with navigating substance abuse recovery. We hope this episode helps you navigate this conversation with the people in your support network or at the very least reassures you that you. are. not. alone. Send this to someone that you need to be by your side.
