'Compulsive use despite negative consequences' . . . . is the definition of addiction.
Writer, speaker and activist David Poses isn't just telling us stuff, he is sharing his story of being addicted to heroin, even using at work.
Hiding in plain sight . . .
For 20 years he hid his struggle with depression and opioid addiction.
How did he decide to (literally) come clean with street drug use and lies?
Hear his opinion that AA is "a form of quackery that uses clever little 'isms'." As well as why he says some forms of recovery actually increase risk of drug use.
Prepare for a very honest sharing of the secret life of a user, how he found his way through and gives back with his advocate work for drug policy and treatment, and the Harm Reduction philosophy.
