My best day before I came into this program, my best day drinking, getting high, whatever is not as good as my worst day in sobriety. And that's what every new person is saying.
What happens when a detective dedicated to protecting others needs protection himself? In this episode of RECOVERY CAST, Pawley sits down with Chris Gibbons, a detective from the Cleveland Police Department who has faced his own battles with Substance Use Disorder. Now in recovery, Chris works in the Employee Assistance Unit, using his personal experience to support fellow officers struggling with similar issues.
Chris opens up about his path to sobriety, the role of mindfulness and meditation in his recovery, and the importance of sleep in maintaining balance. He also discusses the challenges and triumphs of various recovery programs and underscores the critical need for confidentiality in both recovery and law enforcement. This episode is a candid look at how one man's journey is making a difference in a community that often faces its own unique set of challenges.
