Healing Through Stories: Prof David Clark on Recovery's Winding Path

Recovery really is about seeing that person with a rich life experience. We need to be celebrating the fact that people have overcome this, and the only way- we're not the only way, but one major way- is to hear from them.
Imagine a journey that’s more like a winding road than a straight line. That’s how Prof David Clark describes the path to addiction recovery in this episode of 'Journeys - making recovery from addiction visible'. Hosted by Huseyin Djemil, this conversation dives deep into the twists and turns of overcoming addiction, emphasizing the power of storytelling and human connection.
Prof Clark, a neuroscientist and advocate for recovery, shares his extensive experience, including his grassroots initiative, Wired In, and his work with intergenerational trauma among Aboriginal communities. He recently published the eBook 'Our Recovery Stories: Journeys from Drug and Alcohol Addiction', which captures the essence of these personal battles and triumphs.
Throughout the episode, you'll hear about the importance of good practices in recovery, the often-overlooked role of trauma, and how creating safe spaces for connection can make all the difference. Prof Clark passionately believes that recovery should be celebrated and that sharing stories is a powerful way to inspire others. Whether you’re on your own recovery journey, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about addiction recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and hope.
