What If We Stopped Feeling Ashamed of Ourselves? Elizabeth Roberts on Her Book "In Praise of Addiction"

Shame is a huge driver of addiction, and cultural overvaluing of independence is keeping us stuck. How might things change if we destigmatized substance use, genuinely cared for each other, and prayed with endless devotion to the things that spark our ravishment? In today's episode, we talk about one of my favorite books of 2025 - "In Praise of Addiction" by Elizabeth Roberts. We dig into the gray areas and dusty corners of addiction, compulsive eating, and the things that bring us together. Elizabeth didn't intend on studying addiction, but the thread interwove itself into her life in a way that made her re-think everything. <a href="https://recoverydemystified.setmore.com/early" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Book a free 20 minute Recovery Coaching consultation!</a> <a href= "https://patreon.com/RecoveryDemystified?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Join our Patreon and help support this podcast!</a> <a href="https://www.recoverydemystified.com/donations/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Donate to our nonprofit via our website!</a> <a href="https://www.bonfire.com/recovery-demystified/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Get some cool RD merch!</a> <a href="https://recoverydemystified.substack.com/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Subscribe to our Substack!</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/recoverydemystified/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Follow us on Instagram!</a> Logo - Stevie Petet Theme Music - Logan Bragg

You're Not Broken if Autism & ADHD Addiction Recovery Hits Different - Resources From Off the Beaten Path

In this episode we dive into books & podcasts that are off the beaten path -- ones that cater specifically to struggles of people who are autistic and/or have ADHD. The way we recover is not the same as everyone else, and it has everything to do with authenticity and honoring our needs. We also hear about a 30+ year old book that dives into intersectional feminism and how it relates to addiction and recovery. And we talk about a book that destigmatizes addiction on the next level. Buckle up and get out your pen and paper because you won't want to let these resources slip through your fingers. <a href="https://recoverydemystified.setmore.com/early" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Book a free 20-minute Recovery Coaching call with Early!</a> <a href= "https://patreon.com/RecoveryDemystified?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Support the podcast and join our Patreon!</a> <a href="https://www.recoverydemystified.com/donations/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Donate to our nonprofit!</a> <a href="https://recoverydemystified.substack.com/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Subscribe to our Substack newsletter!</a> <a href="https://www.bonfire.com/recovery-demystified/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Get some cool RD merch!</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/recoverydemystified/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Follow us on Instagram!</a> Logo - Stevie Petet Theme music - Logan Bragg

Liberatory Harm Reduction 101: Meesh Mori on Queer + BIPOC History, the Drug War, and Getting Free

Let's talk about the origins of harm reduction that are often overlooked: queer & BIPOC folks have always used underground methods of mutual aid as a method of survival. In this episode Meesh and Early discuss their paths to finding harm reduction spaces and practices, and we get a couple history lessons from Meesh on the origins of harm reduction and the war on drugs. Importantly, we also hear about how queerness and BIPOC struggles are inextricably linked to how we are treated differently when it comes to substance use. If you're looking for a radical history lesson, you're in the right place. <a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/RecoveryDemystified" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Support the podcast by joining our Patreon!</a> <a href="https://recoverydemystified.setmore.com/early" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Book a free 20 minute Recovery Coaching strategy call with Early!</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/recoverydemystified/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Follow us on Instagram!</a> <a href="https://www.bonfire.com/recovery-demystified/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Get a cool toad shirt from our merch store!</a> <a href="https://recoverydemystified.substack.com/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Subscribe to our Substack for more recovery content!</a> <a href="https://www.recoverydemystified.com/donations/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Donate to our nonprofit anonymously!</a> Holler at us with feedback - <a href= "mailto:info@recoverydemystified.com">info@recoverydemystified.com</a> Logo - Stevie Petet Theme Music - Logan Bragg
