Steve S. on Loss, Recovery, and Breaking Mental Health Stigmas

That's why I feel like it's important for Susie and I to educate people and work with people and work with mental illness and suicide prevention.
Imagine facing the unimaginable—losing a child to mental health struggles. That's exactly what Steve S. shares in this deeply moving episode of Recovery Survey. Hosted by Brett Morris, this conversation dives into Steve's harrowing journey through addiction, mental health challenges, and the heartbreaking loss of his son Noah. Steve opens up about the weight of stigma and the critical need for support systems, both personal and communal. Steve's story is not just one of loss but also of resilience.
He talks candidly about how his wife, Susie, has been a cornerstone in his recovery, and how they've both committed to educating others on mental health and suicide prevention. From grappling with medication management to navigating trauma, Steve's experiences highlight the multifaceted nature of recovery. One of the key takeaways from this episode is the importance of support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. For Steve, these communities have been lifelines during his darkest times.
His message is clear: seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. If you're dealing with addiction or mental health issues, or if you know someone who is, this episode is a must-listen. Steve's journey underscores that recovery is possible and that breaking the stigma around mental health can save lives.
