The Unexamined Addiction
04/08/21 • 101 min
Addictions are very real. Alcohol addictions, drug and nicotine addictions have torn lives and families apart. Psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers have worked for decades to treat these addictions that many have used to self-medicate numerous issues and traumas in their lives. And many have achieved sobriety and work very hard to maintain their sobriety. But is there an addiction in this country that goes unexamined, is there a high that is being chased, and what is it medicating? We need to ask these questions, and these questions demand answers. You don't want to miss this 'sode!
