We don’t talk about harm reduction enough in addiction and it’s always like “ABSTINENCE ONLY!! ALL DRUGS BAD”
Bc the second you mention smoking weed to replace the bottle or talk about how Bill W was an acid freak suddenly people don’t wanna have that conversation
AA is really going to have to reckon with ketamine I think in the next few years bc that shit is getting v popular with the psychiatric industry
Not just ketamine but like. Psychedelics too
yup. honestly I'm hopeful that old timers will like be ok with just accepting it as part of "medications and other drugs" but I have a sinking feeling that they won't. my group has sort of a don't ask, don't tell policy where we assume it might be triggering for people whose addiction involved those drugs if you talk about it, but if you're using them for treatment we just take statements of sobriety at face value.
