When people come here, they think: oh man, uh, I don't know where I'm at, I don't know anybody here, I don't know what to do, where to get a job, yada, yada, yada. Well, you may not thrive right out of the gate and there's going to take some navigating, you know, to figure out kind of your bearings and stuff, but in the end, the opportunity that is here for a lot of people is insurmountable.
Picture this: you're ready to kick your drinking or drug habit and start fresh. Where do you go? In this episode of 'Real Recovery Talk', hosts Tom Conrad and Ben dive into why South Florida might just be the perfect spot for your recovery journey. Tom starts off by sharing some personal news - the arrival of his beautiful baby girl, Winnie Margaret Conrad.
But soon, the conversation shifts to the heart of the matter: why South Florida is a top choice for those seeking sobriety. Tom and Ben discuss how the vibrant recovery community in South Florida can make all the difference. Think of it like choosing the best place to train for a sport – you want to be where the action is.
South Florida is bustling with people who are on the same path as you, making it easier to find support and build meaningful relationships. They share anecdotes about clients who moved from the northeast and found a new life in sunny Florida, filled with sober friends and supportive networks. The episode also touches on the difference between abstinence-based sobriety and medically assisted treatment (MAT).
While acknowledging that MAT can be beneficial for some, Tom and Ben advocate for abstinence-based recovery as a way to achieve personal growth and a fulfilling life. They highlight how South Florida's strong recovery community supports this approach, offering numerous opportunities for personal development. If you're pondering where to start your recovery journey or looking to support someone else, this episode offers valuable insights.
From the sunny beaches to the supportive communities, South Florida might just be the fresh start you need.
