People going through addiction recovery deal with feelings of shame, guilt, and unworthiness that no one else can understand unless they’ve gone through a similar situation. However, if someone comes to them at their level, they can automatically pull some of that shame away. This is where peer specialists can help people through addiction treatment and recovery.
Imagine battling addiction and feeling like no one truly understands your pain. Kabir Singh, CEO and Founder of Fresh Start Recovery Center, knows this struggle all too well. In this episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast, Kabir opens up about his journey from addiction to recovery and how he's now making a difference in others' lives through the power of peer recovery specialists.
These specialists are individuals who have walked the same path of addiction and recovery, using their experiences to guide and support others in their healing process. Kabir shares how his own battles with substance abuse began at a young age, leading to multiple DUIs and a sense of hopelessness. It wasn't until he entered recovery at 34 that he began to understand his addiction and what fueled it.
Now, he emphasizes the critical role that peer recovery specialists play in breaking down feelings of shame and guilt that often accompany addiction. These specialists offer a unique empathy and connection that can only come from shared experiences, helping others navigate the complex journey of recovery with a personalized touch. Kabir's story is a testament to the transformative power of human connection in addiction treatment. If you're seeking inspiration or practical advice on recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
