ASP 003: Why I’m Upset, The Anonymous People, And The Empowerment Ride 2016

Overview:

This week I share why I’m so upset and really more of why I’m doing The Addiction Support Podcast. I naively thought that by doing this podcast, I’d be starting a conversation. A conversation about how addiction needs to be treated like a disease and not like a crime or a moral issue.

Turns out I’m not starting that conversation, I’m just chiming in. 

That part is great! There are other people out there who believe it’s time for a change.

The upsetting part is that this conversation has been going on since the 60’s & 70’s and was shut down by the “just say no” politics of the 80’s and the 3 strikes law of the 90’s.

Watch The Anonymous People! It’s on Netflix (as of today) and you can find it online.

I also share about my meeting with Dave Cooke of 100pedals.com and his upcoming Empowerment Ride 2016. He’s going to ride from LA to NYC while sharing his message!

You can also hear from holistic health and wellness professionals that share insight into keeping yourself well. Although Melissa confesses she does not have it all figured out, through the help of seminars, life coaches, and wellness professionals she has been able to work through her feelings of sadness, guilt, and shame associated with having two younger brothers struggle with drug addiction. After one brother passed away, she decided that his death would not be in vain. Only recently after watching Johann Hari's Ted Talk: Everything You Know About Addiction is Wrong did she decided to take action by focusing on inspiring hope and change by providing love and support to friends and family members of addicts. “Be the change you wish to see in the world” - Gandhi
