The magazine really is about education and we're just really trying to educate people on what addiction is, and we need more and more of that education.
Imagine navigating the stormy seas of addiction without a compass. That's where Sober World Magazine comes in. In this heartfelt episode of 'Recovery Coast to Coast', host Neil Scott sits down with Patricia Rosen, the founder and publisher of Sober World Magazine, at the 2016 NAATP Leadership Conference in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Patricia's journey into the world of addiction education began with a personal tragedy—the loss of her son to an overdose.
This painful experience inspired her to create a resource that could help other families facing similar struggles. Sober World Magazine is more than just a publication; it's a beacon of hope and information for families grappling with addiction. Patricia shares how the magazine, filled with articles from doctors, clinicians, and authors, aims to educate and support those affected by addiction.
It's not just about drug and alcohol addiction either; the magazine covers a wide range of issues, including eating disorders and mental illness. One of the unique aspects of Sober World Magazine is its direct distribution to individuals who have been arrested for drug or alcohol-related offenses. This ensures that even those who might not actively seek out information about addiction still receive valuable resources.
Patricia emphasizes the importance of education in combating addiction and stresses that families need just as much support as the individuals struggling with addiction themselves. Throughout the episode, Patricia discusses the magazine's growth and its mission to spread awareness about addiction. By partnering with parent groups and other organizations, she aims to extend the magazine's reach and impact even further. Sober World Magazine is available through direct mail, national conferences, and various establishments across the country.
For anyone feeling overwhelmed by addiction, whether personally or through a loved one, this episode offers a glimmer of hope. Patricia's dedication to education and support shines through as she discusses the magazine's role in helping families navigate the complexities of addiction. Tune in to hear her inspiring story and learn more about how Sober World Magazine is making a difference.
