Guest:
In this episode, Earl Ingram sits down with longtime friend and community activist Wendell Harris for a deeply personal conversation about addiction, recovery, and the challenges people face when trying to change their lives. Harris shares his own journey through addiction and more than four decades of sobriety, while Ingram reflects on his own experiences and what ultimately helped him overcome addiction.
The two discuss addiction as a human and medical issue rather than a weakness of character, the importance of being ready to seek recovery, and the role family and community can play in helping someone make that change. They also explore different approaches to recovery, including 12-step programs, treatment, harm reduction, and the challenges of accessing addiction services.
