Dan Peres, author of, "As Needed For Pain: A Memoir of Addiction" joins us on the pod to talk about his "garden variety" disease of addiction to opioids, to which he was introduced after a back injury. He and Dr. Harrison discuss what someone who is addicted to opioids looks like, what kept Dan from seeking help years after he recognized he needed it, smuggling 1000 Vicodin from Tijuana, the magic of receiving support from the recovery community, and the miracles that abound from being able to give it back. Don't miss this episode, because Dan's story is like many others - discovering, by doctor's orders, the relieving a substance might offer - but his journey to recovery might inspire you.

Welcome to season 3 of Un-Addiction, as we dive deep into the importance of rest, taking time for yourself, and the pressures of being a high-performing Black girl, with Khadi Oluwatoyin. Khadi is the founder of Sober Black Girls Club (SBGC), a 501(c)(3) collective that provides resources and support to Black girls, women, femmes, and non-binary folks practicing sobriety, in recovery, or considering it. Sober Black Girls Club was born from Khadi's need for connection with other Black girls seeking support with addiction. Khadi takes us through the complexities of being a high-performing Black girl, taking breaks while being in service, and what to do when what you need is not what you want.
