Show Notes
Hey lady! We’re grown so we know there’s nothing wrong with having a vice or two. But, what happens when that vice becomes an addiction? Analysts estimate that approximately 48.4 million Americans are addicted to something with 9.8% of Americans addicted to drugs and 9.7% of Americans addicted to alcohol. Addiction is a fact of life that many Black women have a relationship with, and many have overcome addiction through treatment, therapy and sometimes medication. But, before they even get there they start with a healthy amount of honesty about where they find themselves with their addiction.
The peculiar thing about addiction is that one can find herself there without even realizing it, which is why this week Terri and Dr. Dom pull back the veil of addiction with a personal testimony about reorienting their relationship with addiction and science-backed, evidence based strategies to build healthy long-term relationship with the vice.
Terri offers an authentic look at how she became addicted to marijuana and the gentle, self-compassionate methods she incorporated to set reorient her relationship so that when she engages it’s from an empowered place and not out of necessity.
Lady, contrary to popular belief you can become addicted to weed. And, if you are beginning to question where your relationship with weed lies, tune into today’s episode to gain an understanding of the qualities of a healthy relationship with weed and what is veering into addiction. If you’re ready to dive deeper into creating healthy habits and systems to support you living your best life, book a consultation with Dr. Dom. The end of the year is the perfect time to set yourself up for success in the new year. And lady, if you feel like you are in crisis please dial 988 for immediate assistance. We love you for real!
