There is a strong belief in our society that people who’ve struggled with heavy substance use need support to stay abstinent; and that they need support specifically from others who have struggled with heavy use and are also in need of support. In this episode Mark and Michelle talk about this belief and why breaking free from it can be so frightening and difficult for people who are trying to solve a substance use problem. They also explain how breaking free from the idea of “needing support” can be the springboard for a much more successful and less limited lifestyle.
