from Logan's Voice · host Doug Ballinger - Logan's Dad

In this deeply personal episode of Logan’s Voice, we confront one of the most painful barriers in the fight against addiction: stigma. I share how stigma shaped my son Logan’s journey—how it silenced him, shamed him, and ultimately stood in the way of the help he needed.We’ll explore how society's judgment, misconceptions, and labels can isolate those struggling with substance use disorder and mental health challenges, making them feel less than human. And we’ll talk about why ending stigma isn’t just important—it’s life-saving.Whether you’ve battled addiction, loved someone who has, or simply want to be part of a more compassionate world, this episode is for you.Let’s break the silence. Let’s talk about it. Let’s change the conversation.🕯️ This is for Logan. And for every soul still fighting.
