We need to start getting outside of this box of this echo chamber and talking to ourselves, which I don't want to knock on it, because it got us to the point we're at Today.
Imagine facing the daunting challenge of opioid addiction and emerging as a powerful voice for change. That's exactly what Ryan Hampton has done. In this episode of Better Life in Recovery, host David Stoecker chats with Ryan, a nationally recognized activist and author of 'American Fix'. Ryan's journey from addiction to advocacy is nothing short of inspiring. He founded the Voices Project to amplify the stories of those in recovery, making sure their experiences shape policy and public perception.
The conversation dives into the current addiction crisis and the meth epidemic that has followed. Ryan passionately argues for the importance of lived experience in policy discussions, stressing that recovery voices must be loud and clear to drive meaningful change. He also touches on the critical need for accessible recovery supports, highlighting gaps in the current system and how they can be addressed.
If you're curious about how one person's struggle can ignite a movement, or if you're looking for ways to get involved in the recovery community, this episode is a must-listen. Ryan's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the impact of advocacy.
