Episode 44 - Addiction - Prescription Medication

*TW - Addictions. This episode we start to talk about addictions to prescription medication. Although we truly believe there is a place and time for western medicine, we’ve also seen the dark sides. Specially if you already have an addictive personality. Something that is so widely accepted and super easy to find, pill addiction can be kept from even the closest of people. It’s also usually provided to people by medically trained professionals, in which we put our trust in. Without patients being monitored, it’s very easy to manipulate and get what you need. We talk about how this caused some mistrust with medical professionals, how it affected daily life, how it affects life currently, and how quitting pharma was the best thing to happen to one of us. We believe that medicine can be the best medicine but also, for some, it can be your worst enemy. A silent one. But with all bad, comes massive good. Once you are able to identify your addiction, wrestle with it, beat it… it can be your biggest tool to recognize and be aware/accountable for your own behaviour. As always, talking the bad to the good ♥️
