Before COVID, there was another epidemic with opioid abuse amongst chronic pain sufferers. Chronic pain sufferers are looking for anything they can get their hands on to help relieve the excruciating pain they suffer from. Here's the question, when does this turn from medicinal purposes to an addiction? In this episode, I explore this topic with Jess H who is a recovering alcoholic and addict. She shares her journey from a person suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis to finding herself dependent on substances for her daily life. If you suffer from chronic pain and worry about the possibility of slipping into addiction, I invite you to set aside a half an hour to hear Jess's powerful story.
