    I have listened to multiple podcasts and I love this channel. Although you cover multiple topics of abuse, addiction and diseases, which I can relate to a lot of them but my personal experiences and story may help others. I’d love to share it in hopes that someone else can relate and may help. I know there are so many ppl with different stories and experiences and I fell like we all need the same thing to share our stories. Idk but give it some thought. Thank you and God bless.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trapped in My Own Life: Escaping Alcohol Addiction | Daniel Fulop-Furlano
Q: Can you contrast for me if possible, just physical sobriety and emotional sobriety?
Daniel explains that physical sobriety creates room to examine why the urge to drink arises. Emotional sobriety means identifying the feelings and issues driving the urge and learning to respond to them without using alcohol to numb them.
Trapped in My Own Life: Escaping Alcohol Addiction | Daniel Fulop-Furlano
Q: What made you know you couldn't get over this on your own?
Daniel had repeatedly stopped drinking for periods as long as nearly a year, but continued to crave alcohol and returned to uncontrolled drinking. He recognized that he could not break the recurring pattern by himself and needed treatment.
Addiction Is Not a Moral Failing: Trust, Narcan & Harm Reduction | Linda Oxendine Part 2
Q: What role does trust play in delivering services, and how can treatment providers adapt to be culturally grounded when working with Native communities?
Trust requires showing genuine care, meeting people where they are, and implementing culturally informed practices; providers should engage with communities respectfully, avoid blanket approaches, and emphasize support over judgment.
Addiction Is Not a Moral Failing: Trust, Narcan & Harm Reduction | Linda Oxendine Part 2
Q: Why is it important to challenge stereotypes about Native Americans in the context of addiction, and how does trauma influence these discussions?
Stereotypes perpetuate trauma and hinder accurate understanding; recognizing historical trauma and its ongoing impact helps people see addiction as a health issue rather than a moral failing, which enables more compassionate outreach and better outcomes.
Addiction Is Not a Moral Failing: Trust, Narcan & Harm Reduction | Linda Oxendine Part 2
Q: As you entered the community and began talking to leaders and congregations, how were you received and how did people respond to the harm reduction message?
The initial reception was surprisingly positive because a prior presence and trust-building prepared the ground; leaders became receptive as the approach was framed around saving lives and respecting culture, which helped reduce resistance to harm reduction.
