Chrissie Rivers on Inclusion and Recovery: A Chat on 'A is for Alcoholic'

It is so important to my recovery to listen to the stories and experiences of people I relate to as well as those that are vastly different and to work toward a space where all can be included and there can always be someone you can relate to.
How do you create a space where everyone feels they belong, especially in the world of addiction recovery? Chrissie Rivers, the founder of Black Recovery Matters, shares her journey and insights on this episode of 'A is for Alcoholic'. Chrissie talks candidly about the frustration of often being the only Black person in recovery spaces meant for everyone. She dives into her experiences with rehab, relapse, and the ongoing quest for a more inclusive recovery community.
Through her story, Chrissie highlights the importance of hearing diverse voices and creating environments where everyone can find someone they relate to. This episode offers a heartfelt discussion on the significance of diversity in recovery, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of inclusivity in addiction support.
