Busting Addiction and Its Myths

The purpose of Safehouse podcast is to help families learn the truth about addiction and alcoholism so that they can take the right action to help the addict they love and to help themselves at this critical time in their lives. Exposing the truth about addiction and alcoholism also requires that we bust the myths surrounding both addiction/alcoholism and the recovery process.

100 Times More Deadly Than Heroin?

Season 3 – Episode 02

Today I would like to talk more about the most dangerous drug on the planet, so let’s call this episode #2 of season 3: “100 Times More Deadly Than Heroin?”

This is being recorded as China is grabbing much of the attention during the covid-19 pandemic, but there is another scourge that is also deadly, and its source is also China, and that is a substance that is also killing people at a rapid pace, and that substance is fentanyl.

I bring this to you so that you know what may be going on in your own neighbourhood, whether it’s wealthy or poor or some place in between, which is where 60% of American families live. The fact is that if you have an addict in your family, you may not even know what she is using, and whether your addict is at home or on the street, she may be using fentanyl, sometimes without knowing it.

The venerable New York Times reported in December, republished April 4th as part of their “Promises Made” series, that China was finally, finally cracking down on the easy export of fentanyl from China and its easy import into the United States. How important is that?
