People in recovery are strong, creative, compassionate, resourceful and talented. And that type of stuff can only help more and more advocates who are well thought of and who are visible, saying, yeah, I'm in recovery and it's cool.
Imagine finding the courage to share your recovery journey openly. In this episode of 'Collateral Damage', hosts Maureen Cavanagh and Michael Wilson sit down with Justin Cambria to explore the powerful concept of 'recovering out loud'. Justin, a passionate advocate for visible recovery, shares his insights on why it's crucial for people in recovery to be seen and heard. He believes that individuals in recovery are not just survivors but also incredibly creative, compassionate, and resourceful.
By saying, 'Yeah, I'm in recovery, and it's cool', they can change societal perceptions and inspire others. The discussion also dives into the social pressures surrounding alcohol and how these expectations can be particularly challenging for those new to sobriety. Justin talks about the importance of creating supportive sober communities that foster long-term recovery. He emphasizes that there isn't a one-size-fits-all path to sobriety; different approaches work for different people, and that's okay.
Another key topic is the need for continuums of care. Justin advocates for extended support systems that go beyond initial treatment, highlighting the importance of ongoing care and community support. He also underscores the value of giving back, suggesting that helping others can be a powerful component of one's own recovery journey. This episode is a heartfelt conversation about the strength found in visibility, the necessity of supportive environments, and the varied paths to recovery.
Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, you'll find Justin's perspective both encouraging and enlightening.
