In this powerful episode of Logan’s Voice, host Doug Ballinger sits down with author Dante Terese, creator of "The Base" series, for an unflinching look at addiction, recovery, and the families left behind by America’s poisoned drug supply.Through her storytelling and lived experiences, Dante offers a deeply human perspective on the cost of addiction and the courage of those who keep fighting. Together, Doug and Dante discuss:How fiction and storytelling help dismantle stigma around Substance Use Disorder (SUD).The growing generation of grandparents raising grandchildren after losing their children to fentanyl poisoning.The hidden dangers of kratom and the false “natural and safe” narrative surrounding it.The life-saving role of Narcan — and why compassion, not judgment, saves lives.How choosing to crave experiences, not drugs can begin a path toward true healing.This episode reminds us that awareness begins with empathy — and every story shared creates a ripple of hope that can save a life.💜 Truth • Awareness • Hope • Healing👉 Learn more at https://logansvoice.org📚 Explore The Base series at https://www.danteterese.com🎧 Subscribe to Logan’s Voice on YouTube, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
