For most of my adult life I suffered from addictive disorder. After beginning my recovery I seized on a long-deferred dream to go to college and I studied the science behind what had stolen my life. Now a graduate of Community College of Philadelphia and a senior at Temple University I major in Psychology with a focus on Cognitive Neuroscience. Finding an incredible amount of misunderstanding, myths, and misinformation about this disorder in the general public that fuel the stigma surrounding it, my mission here is to educate, inform, and encourage those who directly and indirectly suffer from this disorder and how it affects the brain - the home of all of our behaviors, emotions, and mind, essentially who we are. The disorder itself is enough punishment - to have it stigmatized is unwarranted ans tortuous!!
Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Thomas Medero
I have found firsthand that knowledge is power. The focus of my work here is to educate those, or loved ones of those who are suffering from an addiction to drugs. There is a tremendous amount of misinformation and falsehood surrounding this potentially fatal disorder, and I am going to do my best to dispel all of the myths, correct all of the misinformation I encounter or that is presented to me, and hope to make serious progress toward the reduction of the stigma surrounding the sufferers and their loved ones. I will be using my education and passion for neuroscience, psychology, and other people to fuel the articles and essays I will post, and I also hope to recieve your questions and concerns surrounding this emotionally costly, destructive disorder. I will also offer suggestions and strategies for addicts and their loved ones in recovery, and how to stay there. Once the drug use is stopped, there is still much work to be done.
I hope to answer reader's questions and I will be posting answers to some of the more common misunderstandings about addiction.
