People who are in active addiction don't typically say 'alright, I'll do whatever you want me to do.'
What happens when a recovering addict decides to turn his struggles into a message of hope? In this episode of 'Real Recovery Talk', Tom Conrad sits down with Blake Cohen, the author of the soon-to-be-released book 'I Love You More' and the National Outreach Manager at Recovery Unplugged. Blake opens up about his own journey with addiction, starting from his first encounter with opioids after a wrist surgery to the impact it had on his family and personal life.
Growing up in Boca Raton, Florida, Blake initially believed he was immune to addiction, but life had different plans. He shares how education and resources are crucial for families dealing with addiction, highlighting the role of tough love and court-ordered treatment in his recovery process. Blake also tackles common misconceptions about Alcoholics Anonymous and the 12-step program, explaining how these communities have been pivotal in his journey.
Beyond his personal story, Blake discusses the inspiration behind his book and his passion for helping others find their way to recovery. With candid anecdotes and practical advice, this episode offers a heartfelt look at the power of resilience and the importance of community support in overcoming addiction.
