For me, my faith is a big aspect of my recovery...I see so many people die without their miracle.
Picture this: Claudia Hamilton, once lost in the throes of addiction, now stands as a beacon of hope in her community. In this episode of The Recovery Hour, hosts Bill Carruthers and Tanisha Character sit down with Claudia, the executive director of Living Proof Recovery Community Organization in Rome, Georgia. Claudia's story is raw and real, taking listeners through her descent into psychosis and her triumphant rise to a life dedicated to helping others.
She doesn’t just talk about recovery; she lives it, passionately supporting her local community every day. Claudia dives into how faith played a crucial role in her recovery journey and how law enforcement can be unexpected allies for those battling substance use challenges. But her story doesn't stop there. Claudia emphasizes the importance of feeling like you belong during recovery.
For her, success wasn’t just about staying out of jail; it was about becoming an active, contributing member of her community. One of the standout moments in this episode is Claudia’s discussion on building a positive skillset. She shares her personal struggle with finding employment due to a lack of marketable skills. Through her involvement with recovery community organizations and forensic peer mentor projects, she transformed her recovery capital into valuable skills that opened new doors for her.
Claudia's journey is a testament to the power of community support and the transformative impact of recovery programs in jails. Her work at Living Proof Recovery Community Organization mirrors her belief that everyone deserves a chance to rebuild their lives and contribute positively to society. This episode is not just a story; it's a source of inspiration for anyone touched by addiction, showing that with the right support and determination, recovery is possible.
