My hope for you is that there's some balance and that you celebrate, right celebrate what you're doing and the folks that you work with are doing because it's so necessary.
Joey Pagano is a man of many roles: professor, therapist, speaker, veteran, husband, father, and soon-to-be author. In this episode of the Recovery Plus Podcast, he sits down with Dr. Mei-Li Hennen to share his powerful journey from the depths of addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for others. With nearly a decade of sobriety under his belt, Joey talks about the relentless battle he faced during his 22 years of addiction, describing it as a 'hell he carried'.
His story takes a dramatic turn when he recalls the moment he walked into a police station and asked to be arrested to save himself from suicide. Now, Joey channels his experiences into helping others through his work as a drug and alcohol therapist and his upcoming book, 'No Addict Left Behind'. He passionately discusses the importance of support systems and community in recovery, the crushing impact of stigma, and how education and advocacy can foster greater understanding.
Joey's tale is one of resilience and redemption, making this episode a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction.
