I think that delivering the message clearly and succinctly...does do something. And I think that we can do that without shaming people or being overly negative.
Ever wondered how one man's battle with addiction can spark a movement for change? In this episode of 'Sober Conversations', hosts Dr. Herby Bell and Chris Harrison sit down with Joe Schrank, a passionate recovery advocate with a knack for shaking things up. Joe's journey from battling alcoholism and depression to founding the first sober living facility in New York City is nothing short of inspiring.
His no-nonsense approach to recovery advocacy, coupled with his experience in the media and treatment communities, makes for a riveting conversation. Joe doesn't hold back as he discusses the importance of open dialogue about drugs and alcohol, and the dangers of shaming those struggling with addiction. He shares his thoughts on the media's portrayal of the recovery community and emphasizes the need for better treatment services.
Joe's unique perspective is shaped by his own experiences and his work at Rebound Brooklyn, an innovative treatment program that includes everything from nutrition to cooking classes. Listeners will find themselves drawn into Joe's world as he talks about his love for the Yankees, his aversion to human contact, and his dog Mik, who plays a special role at Rebound Brooklyn. Joe's candidness and humor make this episode not just informative but also deeply engaging.
Whether you're in recovery, know someone who is, or are simply interested in the topic, this episode offers valuable insights and a fresh perspective on addiction and recovery advocacy. Tune in to hear Joe's story and join the conversation.
