Podcasts about Drug use

Are you struggling with trauma? In this episode we dive into abuse, trauma, and how it can really change your life. We are overcoming trauma and thinking unbroken today. Today, I talk with Michael Unbroken. From homeless to hero, Michael Unbroken, is the Founder of Think Unbroken, best-selling author, award-winning speaker, podcast host, coach, and advocate for adult survivors of childhood trauma. Since 2016, Michael has empowered over 100,000 trauma survivors to get out of The Vortex, learn to love themselves, and become the hero of their own stories. We really dive into how we can thrive post abuse and go on to have a great life. We discuss how important it is to know that it's not what happened to us, but what we do about it that impacts our life. Questions I asked: Can you walk us through some of your story? How did you get the strength to overcome your circumstances and help others? What are some tools to help people who feel broken? What was the moment where you realized you could change your story? Can you dive into why you needed accountability to heal trauma, and some steps to help? How can people unlearn things they believe? How can we help people release the shame of secrets? How important is it to take ownership of our lives? What are some tips for dealing with triggers while moving forward? What tips can you share to help people understand and overcome their past? Where can people find you online? Topics Discussed: Abuse Trauma Childhood trauma. Thinking unbroken. Drug Use. Confidence Healing trauma.

According to the 2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 14.5 million people 12 years of age and older battle alcohol use disorder. Alcohol is the country's most abused substance, and other than cigarettes, dealing with alcohol-related issues creates more costs per capita than do all other drugs combined. This episode's guest is Susan Bergeson, Ph.D., a University Distinguished Professor for the Department of Cell Biology and Biochemistry at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) School of Medicine. She explains that while the addiction spotlight has turned toward the opioid epidemic in recent years, more people continue to die annually from alcohol use disorder. Bergeson discusses her research on a drug to treat alcohol use disorder, reminds us addiction is an illness and what we can do to support those with problems with addiction.

Bill Handel talks about a new reality those in Hollywood are being faced with when it comes to their drug-use habits and fentanyl - "Don't gamble if you don't have a stash from pre-2020." A little insight as to what you learn at Santa School. And Dean Sharp joins the show for this week's edition of Handel and The House Whisperer. He and Handel pull up fireside in Southern California as the two discuss fireplaces both inside and outside of your home.

Dr. Sheila Vakharia, Deputy Director of Research and Academic Engagement for the Drug Policy Alliance, joins us to discuss the news of New York City opening two safe injection sites, one in East Harlem and the other in Washington Heights, which are the first of their kind in the nation and look to deliver on saving lives, saving money, and increasing public health and safety writ large. We also talk about the pushback against these sites, which some argue may encourage drug use, and how this represents a misunderstanding of harm reduction strategies that strive to look at and treat addiction from a public health perspective and not a criminal one. Juan José Gutiérrez, immigration lawyer and executive director of the Full Rights for Immigrants Coalition, talks to us about how the Biden administration is expanding the use of for-profit detention facilities for immigrants, and how this represents yet another broken campaign promise that has left migrants in the lurch and keeps entrenching a two-tiered justice system in the country. We also talk about the reinstatement of the “Remain in Mexico” policy, which the Biden administration promised to rescind, but now is back in place after several state lawsuits, and how it has now been expanded to not only include Latino immigrants, but immigrants from Haiti, as well. Jon Jeter, author and two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist with more than 20 years of journalistic experience, former Washington Post bureau chief and award-winning foreign correspondent on two continents, joins hosts Michelle Witte and Bob Schlehuber to talk about the tools the U.S. government is using to track down people involved in the January 6 Capitol insurrection, and how it's setting off alarm bells for some people who warn that the use of this kind of bulk data collection and facial recognition software could go beyond identifying these rioters and further expand the surveillance state. We also talk about Twitter announcing a rule change to prevent people's private images from being shared, unless those images are of public figures, and how debt collectors are now contacting people through social media.

The contemporary opioid crisis is widely seen as new and unprecedented. Not so. It is merely the latest in a long series of drug crises stretching back over a century. In White Market Drugs: Big Pharma and the Hidden History of Addiction in America (U Chicago Press, 2020), David Herzberg explores these crises and the drugs that fueled them, from Bayer's Heroin to Purdue's OxyContin and all the drugs in between: barbiturate "goof balls," amphetamine "thrill pills," the "love drug" Quaalude, and more. As Herzberg argues, the vast majority of American experiences with drugs and addiction have taken place within what he calls "white markets," where legal drugs called medicines are sold to a largely white clientele. These markets are widely acknowledged but no one has explained how they became so central to the medical system in a nation famous for its "drug wars"--until now. Drawing from federal, state, industry, and medical archives alongside a wealth of published sources, Herzberg re-connects America's divided drug history, telling the whole story for the first time. He reveals that the driving question for policymakers has never been how to prohibit the use of addictive drugs, but how to ensure their availability in medical contexts, where profitability often outweighs public safety. Access to white markets was thus a double-edged sword for socially privileged consumers, even as communities of color faced exclusion and punitive drug prohibition. To counter this no-win setup, Herzberg advocates for a consumer protection approach that robustly regulates all drug markets to minimize risks while maintaining safe, reliable access (and treatment) for people with addiction. Accomplishing this requires rethinking a drug/medicine divide born a century ago that, unlike most policies of that racially segregated era, has somehow survived relatively unscathed into the twenty-first century. By showing how the twenty-first-century opioid crisis is only the most recent in a long history of similar crises of addiction to pharmaceuticals, Herzberg forces us to rethink our most basic ideas about drug policy and addiction itself--ideas that have been failing us catastrophically for over a century. David Herzberg is an associate professor of history at the University of Buffalo is also the author of Happy Pills in America from Milltown to Prozac. David is also the co-editor of the journal Social History of Alcohol and Drugs.  Jay Shifman is a vulnerable storyteller, a stigma-destroying speaker, and the founder of Choose Your Struggle podcast. A guy in long-term recovery, Jay is dedicated to ending stigma and promoting fact-based education around Mental Health, Substance Misuse & Recovery, and Drug Use & Policy.

CW: Abuse, Drug Use.This episode deals with heavy topics as noted in the content warning. Please do not listen to this episode if you find either of those topics triggering. ---April and Troy come from very different backgrounds. Troy was heavily involved in the drug game while April was involved in church. Even when everyone tried to convince April to give up on Troy, before and during marriage, she stayed with him because of her faith in God. Outside of Troy's affiliation with the drug life, the two also struggled with infidelity and abuse. However, knowing that there was a reason God had placed April in Troy's life, that was enough for her to keep fighting for the relationship and eventually Troy gained his own relationship with God. The Lawrence's also discuss the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 while living in Louisiana and how that was an added stressor on the relationship and their family dynamic as a whole. Though they've been through a lot, they somehow continue to find a way to push forward. ======== Looking for more Black Love Podcast Network Podcasts? Check out  Black Love+  .

This is the second annual Halloween special edition episode, Psycho Lover Vol. 2. Master Steph joins me to get into Mariah The Scientist's song, "2 You", from her latest album RY RY WORLD. It has the perfect haunting vibes for this episode, and it's about grieving a relationship that had to end, but looking back and appreciating it for what it meant to her. Then we dive into attachment theory and how it pertains to relationships. The different attachment styles are secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized/fearful avoidant. They all have negative effects on relationships and it's important to become aware of which attachment style you fall under, so that you can take the steps to become more secure. I've been reading the book "Attached" (I'll link it below), and it has a lot of great examples of couples with different dynamics, and of different research and studies that have been done to emphasize the importance of having a secure attachment and how we develop them. For the past few weeks I've been asking you guys to send in your stories for the "Psycho Lover" segment of this episode, and I got some wild ones. TRIGGER WARNING: DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, NARCISSISTIC ABUSE, DRUG USE, ASSAULT/VIOLENCE. Thank you so much to everyone who shared their story, I appreciate you and I'm sending lots of love.  References: "Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How it Can Help You Find - And Keep - Love" By Amir Levine, M.D., & Rachel S.F.

Twenty-one years ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that national adult cases of syphilis had reached their lowest levels ever, and entirely eliminating the disease among newborns seemed to be within reach.But syphilis cases have risen dramatically over the last decade for both adults and infants — even though the disease is curable, and even though we could protect babies by getting pregnant people tested and treated in time.Today, L.A. Times public health reporter Emily Alpert Reyes discusses this disturbing trend, what it says about our society and how to get the fight against congenital syphilis back on track. We also hear from someone who had a stillbirth because of syphilis and wants everyone to learn from her story.More reading:The number of babies infected with syphilis was already surging. Then came the pandemicTwo crises in one: As drug use rises, so does syphilis1,306 U.S. infants were born with syphilis in 2018, even though it's easy to prevent
