Today's opioid crisis in America didn't just spring out of nowhere– it took decades of false advertising & overprescribing, and relied on our country's hundreds-of-years-old history of opiate abuse. A bit of a throwback episode, recorded in light of Purdue Pharma's bankruptcy plan and settlement, Mike and Betsy dive into the history of opioids in America and demand accountability from the pharmaceutical industry.  Recovery Uncovered is a hilarious, brutally honest and surprisingly heartwarming podcast about life in recovery. Your hosts are Michael "MHAB Mike" Carpenter, 30+ years sober, and Betsy Vicencio, mother to a daughter seven years sober. Nothing is off limits – Mike and Betsy cover the highs, lows, and everything in between of what happens after you get sober. Recovery Uncovered offers two unique perspectives in addiction recovery commentary, plus Mike and Betsy welcome their friends and other exciting guests to share relatable stories or expertise about recovery.   Learn more: www.mhab.org Original recovery apparel: www.mhabmarketplace.com Podcast hosted at: www.anchor.fm/mhab
