Redefining Recovery: Drew Wild and Ryan Hassan’s Mission to Heal
When we can stop looking through the lens of 'why the addiction?' And start looking at it from 'why the pain?' we begin to find a more permanent solution to a very real global problem.
What if we stopped asking 'why the addiction?' and started asking 'why the pain?' This episode of 'Hard Knox Talks: Sober Stories. Real Talk.' features Drew Wild and Ryan Hassan, two individuals who have turned their own struggles with addiction into a powerful mission to change how we approach recovery. Drew, a person in recovery, found a new purpose in life after overcoming his challenges.
He now aims to shift the global perspective on addiction and dismantle the stigma surrounding it. Ryan, who lost everything due to his toxic relationship with Methamphetamine and GHB, has joined forces with Drew to form 'Line in the Sand,' an organization dedicated to healing on a global scale. Together, they emphasize that the behavior or vice causing problems is not the root issue but a symptom of deeper pain.
Through radical honesty, self-love, and resilience, they advocate for a more compassionate and effective approach to recovery. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the transformative power of healing and the importance of addressing the underlying pain driving addiction.
