    Who knew dope could bring Republicans and Democrats together on an issue!   Today’s guest Mark Kinzly and Charles Thibodeaux of the Texas Overdose Naloxone Initiative (TONI) and Robin Peyson of Communities for Recovery discuss several legislative bills that are being introduced into the 84th Texas Legislator in response to the opiate epidemic, which is driving heroin related deaths up by 39% from 2012 to 2013. As a major highway for heroin being smuggled into other state, many believe that the opiate problem maybe even bigger than Texas data indicates due to reporting issues.   According to this coalition of recovery advocates, H.B. 1098 and H.B. 1099 are a huge step in the right direction towards reducing the overdose deaths in Texas. The “Good Samaritan” bill will lower barriers to calling 911 emergency services, and making naloxone available in the community setting and for law enforcement, can arrest an overdose until the individual can get to proper medical attention.   Find an overdose prevention progra

  • RP 34: Cerina J | Smoking “Unplugged”, Why and How She Quit

    19/07/2014 Duração: 35min

    Stripping away the experts, the research and the awareness campaigns, this episode of RecoveryPeople asks Cerina J, a women in long-term addiction recovery, why she finally decided to quit smoking and how she did it. To varying degrees, people know that smoking is bad for us, yet despite this awareness, the sober community makes a huge exception for nicotine. What’s up with that? Is it that nicotine is as addictive as heroin or is it that peer pressure to smoke (or to start smoking) persists in the recovery community.   Focusing on the solution, Cerina walks us through her experience with different types of smoking cessation services. She speaks the truth for so many, “I was willing to pay all that money for cigarettes but I was unwilling to spend any on stopping” and she highlights the FREE and comprehensive service at Seton Hospital that worked best for her.   All this and more on this episode of RecoveryPeople.
