If you're on that stuff, if you're taking psych meds for your mental health disorder, you know, whatever it may be, you need to still stay involved with people in recovery.
What does it take to find hope in the midst of addiction? In this episode of 'Recovery Is Possible', host Michael Van Meter sits down with Jesse Wysocki, the COO of the McShin Foundation. The McShin Foundation, known for its feature in the documentary 'Anonymous People', is a non-profit dedicated to providing peer-to-peer recovery support services. Jesse shares his own powerful story of recovery, emphasizing the transformative power of peer support in the healing process.
He also sheds light on the importance of aftercare and how it can make a significant difference in maintaining sobriety. Beyond personal recovery, Jesse and Michael discuss the broader issues surrounding addiction, including breaking the stigma and advocating for more resources. They touch on self-care practices for law enforcement officials, a group often overlooked in these discussions.
One poignant aspect of their conversation is the McShin Foundation's memorial garden, a touching tribute to those who have lost their lives to addiction. Jesse's message is clear: staying connected with others in recovery is crucial, no matter what additional mental health treatments you might be undergoing. This episode is a heartfelt and informative dive into the realities of recovery, offering both hope and practical advice for anyone affected by addiction.
