    The Power of a Pill - When a Prescription is in Control Part 1

    This episode has a content warning. We speak about depression and suicidal thoughts. Counselors are available for those in need by calling 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. “It was a vicious cycle of taking more, needing more. Taking more. Needing more.” This is how Zach, a single Christian man, described a stage of his journey with prescription dependency. Today’s episode is the first of a two-part series in which I, Tracie Lobstein, speak with Zach. Listen as he shares details about his daunting battle of doing what he didn't want and being powerless to do what he did want to do. Where does prescription dependency begin? For Zach, “This all got started, sitting on the couch, relaxing, and expressing how painful my feet and back were after a hard day at work.” He then opened up about how his reliance on prescription medication led to a loss of control and took him to unexpected places, physically and mentally. What effects do our beliefs have on our decisions? Zach shared his thought process at one point, “I think that it had to do with my view on dependency or addiction at the time.” See how his viewpoint changed when he reached out for help and gained a message of hope. Listen to both episodes of The Power of a Pill - When a Prescription is in Control with Zach to hear his complete story of encouragement and hope. #narcoticdependency #prescriptiondependency #Christianpodcast Music by ShtakalBerry via ⁠Pixabay
