1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: What does recovery look like when it's not designed for you?

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: I'm doctor and Zena Harrison, and in season four of

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:14,159
Speaker 1: Unaddictioned podcast, we're featuring black and brown guests sharing their

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: journeys through the unique barriers to recovery shaped by their identities.

5
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 2: But I created their Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice Committee,

6
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: and I still preside on that committee. I want to

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 2: be sure that the kids that are coming in, the

8
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: kids that are already on campus, are seen through a

9
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: lens of equity. Is not happening.

10
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: We'll explore how addiction and stigma disproportionately affect our communities.

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. But I've been doing this

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 3: stuff all my life, and I know that there's a

13
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 3: lot of people that's been doing it so long and

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 3: they think that they can't conquer putting it down, But

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 3: they can't. You can't be around the people. And I

16
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 3: used to get you Doune my.

17
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 4: Eleven year old niece, and she asked the question about

18
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 4: one of her classmates. Any kid at eleven years old

19
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 4: who is already using drugs, to Gabermante's point, has some

20
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 4: pain so deep already, and not the adults who know

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 4: how to help them kind of navigate that pain.

22
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: And how each guest transcended remarkable odds to find their

23
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: own path to recovery. These guests have not only defined

24
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: recovery on their terms, but they're also creating pathways and

25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: communities that can help you or a loved one find

26
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,000
