Joe Conniff: From Heroin Addiction to Healing and Hope

I hope that kind of answers your question. So that kind of answered that I know you've written a book called causes and conditions.
Joe Conniff's life story is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, but it’s also a testament to the power of resilience. In this episode of Recovery Survey, Joe opens up about his journey through addiction, spirituality, and recovery. Raised in a seemingly typical suburban household in Massachusetts, Joe's life took a dramatic turn post-9/11 when he joined the military. His service led him down a dark path, culminating in heroin addiction on the streets of Seattle.
But Joe's story doesn't end there. With determination and support, he clawed his way back to sobriety. Today, he's a certified peer counselor and resource case manager at the very drug diversion court that helped him start anew. Joe shares his insights on harm reduction and the importance of self-reflection during tough times. His candid account offers hope and practical advice for anyone grappling with addiction.
