Episode Description

“Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.”- J.K. Rowling Teen host Sharanya shines light on substance abuse. Addressing teen substance abuse requires a collective effort to raise awareness, promote prevention strategies, and provide support for those affected. Education campaigns aimed at dispelling myths surrounding substance use, promoting healthy coping mechanisms, and fostering resilience can empower teens to make informed decisions and resist peer pressure. Sharanya introduces famous writers who were addicted to drugs or alcohol, yet emerged victorious, using their struggles as fodder for creativity and inspiration. Through their struggles and triumphs, these authors have not only confronted their own demons but also inspired readers around the world to confront their own challenges with courage and perseverance. Getting help for addiction is a courageous and transformative journey that requires commitment, perseverance, and support. With determination, resilience, and the support of others, individuals can overcome addiction and build a brighter, sober future.
