Addiction2Recovery
We will evaluate, discuss and educate on all types of addiction topics. However, we will highlight the nuanced differences between the medical field (Dr. Heather- Addiction Physician) and those with the disease of addiction (Josh- Certified Peer Recovery Support Specialist). Episodes will not only bring you the specifics of addiction including the neurobiology of addiction and how that translates into the 'real world' but they will also bring you interviews from individuals in early or long-term recovery, therapists, family members, friends, clergy, treatment providers and so much more! We would love to hear from you, whether you have a question, suggestion, recommendation, request or even if you'd like to be a guest on the show!

38. Stigma Artist- William Stoehr- 'Victims, Witnesses, Survivors'
Having been a witness of his sister's substance use disorders, William Stoehr, an artist, began his mission to start the conversations and to end stigma. He paints only faces stating, "I try to create an environment where you don't just see a pair of eyes but you engage with those eyes." His art exhibition is called "Victims, Witnesses, and Survivors" for we are each one of those and at the exhibition one walks around as if in a sea of people, each one telling a story. The art, however, isn't the only purpose, for the goal is also to spark conversations about the disease of addiction in order to further break down stigma. His exhibitions also feature panels and resources to educate and empower and bring care and help to those with SUD and their loved ones. This episode not only starts Bill's conversation but it also motivates and inspires. To see more of Bill's work, visit: home | Mysite (williamstoehrart.com)
