Michael Botticelli on the Transformative Power of Personal Stories in Recovery

One of the low-hanging fruits that we have, if we really want to change the impact that stigma has, is changing our language.
Ever wondered how sharing personal stories can spark change in addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Recovery Unscripted', host David Condos sits down with Michael Botticelli, former director of national drug control policy, to explore this very topic. Botticelli, who has his own history with addiction, shares how his journey led him to become a passionate advocate for recovery. He believes that personal narratives can reach beyond scientific data to influence public attitudes and policies.
By opening up about his struggles, Botticelli aims to break down the stigma surrounding addiction and highlight the importance of a supportive and visible recovery community. He also delves into the need for clinical innovation and the critical role of stable housing and employment in the recovery process. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand how personal storytelling can be a powerful tool in the fight against addiction.
