You know I'm a Greek Orthodox feller! I'm not preachy, and I cannot help to notice similarities in many of the things I discover by working in SUD medicine.  I am so honored to stand shoulder to shoulder with my patients as we embrace healing the scars.  The best healed scars are those which are strong and flexible.

An homage to many of my patients who through their struggles ran afoul of "Johnny Law".  I have found their hearts became softened and strengthen during the time of incarceration and learned so much.  CoCo & Shannon you both are instrumental in helping us all to heal, recover and BREAK STIGMA!

I fell in love with medicine and the Healing art of compassion through Mind-Body-Spirit connection over decades of experience from medic to RN to Nurse Practitioner.  The Journey to Recovery Medicine became passionately all-encompassing.  Everyday Miracles abound.  RecoveryGoneViral2.0FB recoverygoneviral2.0@gmail.com

Celebrating the intimacy of healing with humour has been my byline through decades of my healer's journey. Originally encouraged by Dr. Royal Anspach my preceptor who said "Geoffrey if'n yer patient don't leave mah exam room without a chuckle or a smile you doin  this medicine thang all wrong."  RecoveryGoneViral2.0FB  recoverygoneviral2.0@gmail.com

RGV2.0 Viewer Matt asked me how I felt if I lost a patient.  As a recovery practitioner I have sometimes experienced patients who have relapsed or overdosed or become incarcerated.  Here is my answer to Matt and brother thank you for highlighting the reality of Substance Abuse.

Phoenix {not his real name} told me the miracles keep happening with embracing the freedom of Recovery and seeing God's Love at every turn.  Learning that with clarity of self-forgiveness healing is effected through; mind, body and spirit. RecoveryGoneViral2.0FB   recoverygoneviral2.0@gmail.com

In hommage to Steve Daggett a mentor and brother in arms who wrote this epic poem for our guest William Shakespeare to narrate.  We will harken back to a time of epic fantasy nof defeating the vicious dragons of suffering  & fear in the journey of recovery RecoveryGoneViral2.0 FB recoverygoneviral2.0@gmail.com

It was a dark and rainy day when I learned how to begin to break the stigma of drug abuse for my wonderful patients who were afraid of embracing Recovery and were coming to me for compassionate understanding , a shoulder to lean on and not be directed by some amorphous judgmental healthcare provider.  Also he grins sheepishly the day I starting my moniker from boatloads of my patients = how I became their favorite "normie-presciber"!

Starting day the with 20-40 oz of hot-water  has been a game changer for so many of my patients over the decades, whether or not they are on Suboxone or we are dealing with inflammation! I discovered the ancient Confucian modality of healing that is simple and safer.  Imagine creating your own internal IV instantly rehydrating>dilating blood vessels for efficiency>AND THE BIGGIE = early morning flood of your own SEROTONIN! WOW   RecoveryGoneViral2.0 recoverygoneviral2.0@gmail.com

So many of my patients over the years have remarked with resignation: "how many people, even us folks in healthcare, treat them as just addicts = subhuman" I hold this admonition in my heart painfully = knowing we all can do better. RecoveryGoneVial2.0FB Recoverygoneviral2.0@gmail.com

I've been prescribing the partial opioid agonist for over a decade now.  I liken this medication to be effective "chemo-therapy" in OUD = opioid use disorder. I have discovered with a myriad of patients the most efficacious method of dosing the life-saving medication.  Sure. it tastes like crap and tons of my patients say these methods work like "da bomb!"
