One Year of Don't Die Wisconsin: Triumphs, Challenges, and Hope

I think it's really important for us to challenge ourselves and push forward and do something like that.
Picture this: a podcast that has spent a year tackling the opioid crisis head-on, and now, after a brief hiatus, they're back with a special anniversary episode. In this heartfelt episode of 'Don't Die Wisconsin', hosts Kevin Schaefer, Patrick Reilly, and Ryan Gorman reflect on their journey over the past year. From the ups and downs to the moments of sheer triumph, they cover it all.
They kick things off by discussing their successful 'One Shot, One Life' event with Bob Forrest, which raised around $2,000 for the Lifepoint needle exchange. The joy and gratitude they feel for being able to support such an important cause are palpable as they recount sending off the check and the impact it had on the community. But it's not just about the event.
The team dives deep into their personal experiences with addiction and recovery, sharing candid stories that many will find relatable. They talk about how the podcast has grown beyond their expectations, becoming a vital resource that connects people and organizations fighting the same battle. The challenges haven't been easy. From tough meetings to navigating the murky waters of sobriety definitions, Kevin, Patrick, and Ryan lay it all out.
They also touch on the ongoing fight against pill factories and the need for stronger actions from authorities. What stands out is their unwavering commitment to push forward and keep challenging themselves, leaving room for hope and recovery in their journey. As they share stories of how the podcast has touched lives in Milwaukee and beyond, you can't help but feel inspired. They wrap up with excitement for the future and a renewed sense of purpose.
