We use the term "addict" fairly flippantly in daily conversation and yet, what does that word actually mean for people going through addiction? Why are people who are addicts misunderstood, when they deserve the most understanding? In this episode Pola (@russiancoffee) and Carole (@ofmillenial) join Jayelle (@elleyaj) in exploring the stigmas around addiction recovery, the opioid crisis, and harm reduction therapy.
