Once you take the drugs and alcohol away, you know we're left with us.
Ever wondered how physical activity can be a game-changer in addiction recovery? In this episode of RECOVERY CAST, hosts Pawley and Michele sit down with Ted St. John, a man who’s turned his life around from the depths of addiction. Ted opens up about his personal battles and the pivotal role that staying active played in his journey to sobriety. It's not just about the sweat and muscles; it’s about finding focus and a new lease on life.
Ted also shares his unique perspective as a non-clinician running a clinical treatment center. He talks candidly about the importance of empathy, leadership, and knowing when to step back and let his team of professionals do their work. His approach is refreshingly honest and filled with practical wisdom. Running a social enterprise comes with its own set of challenges, and Ted doesn't shy away from discussing them.
He highlights the significance of offering self-pay options for those seeking help, making recovery accessible to more people. As the episode wraps up, Ted shares his hopeful vision for the future of Hope Village, aiming to continue supporting individuals in finding a life beyond addiction. This episode is a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction, whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone else. Ted’s story is a testament to resilience and the power of community support.
