Amy welcomes new friend Jordan P. Barnes to discuss his memoir
"One Hit Away: A Memoir of Recovery"
Jordan discusses his personal journey with addiction and recovery
with host Amy Liz Harrison. Jordan grew up in Hawaii with loving
and supportive parents, but still faced addiction issues and
difficulties from an early age. He talks about how drinking heavily
in college led him to try heroin for the first time and how he felt
isolated and lost in his addiction.
Jordan shares more about the tough parts of detox and treatment and
how it works for some people. Jordan and Amy also talk about the
importance of needle exchange programs, NARCAN, and harm reduction
in the recovery process, emphasizing how these measures can save
lives and help those struggling with addiction.
