Methamphetamine 101- Part 2- The HistoryOn part 2 of our meth series, we go way back to the beginning, from 1887 when Romanian chemist, Lazar Edeleanu, developed the 'first meth' (phenylisopropylamine) to the "new meth" P2P (phenyl-e-propranone). We will discuss how and why the first meth was produced, then explain how the rural clandestine meth labs operated and produced the 'old meth', and, finally, talk about TCOs (transnational criminal organizations) and their multi-BILLION dollar industry which is, arguably, destroying a staggering number of lives.

"The Parable of an Alcoholic Who Was Stuck in a Hole and Could Not Find His Way Out" is the inspiration for this episode. We will first discuss the 'whys' of Alcoholics Anonymous in relationship to this parable and then we will give an overview of each of the 12 steps. These steps, and this program, have stood the test of time and have helped countless people with substance use disorders find and maintain recovery. We will also argue that these steps are not just for those with the disease of addiction.

Instagram: Addiction2RecoveryPodcast35 min - 65. Alcohol Part 3- AdolescentsAlcohol Awareness Month Part 3! A significant number of adolescents use alcohol (15.1% in the last month in a survey of 12-20 year olds), 3 times the number who used tobacco products (5%) and 1.3X the number who used cannabis (11.8%). Youth tend to partake in binge drinking at higher rates, leading to significant acute health complications, accidents, and risky behavior. 20% of all high school students who consumed alcohol in the last month either drove after drinking or rode in a car driven by someone who had been drinking. Not only does alcohol result in these complications, but earlier alcohol use increases the risk of alcohol use disorder later in life. This episode will go through this data in more detail as well as review many other youth specific concerns regarding alcohol. You'll also get to hear how Heather and Josh's high school experiences varied in regard to alcohol!
