The Power of Advocacy in Recovery: Mike Todd's Call to Action

We're going to continue to encourage people to speak out. I want to thank people like Ryan Hampton and Garrett Haid for bringing that, for bringing the recovery advocacy movement to The United States Of America.
Why is it so important to speak up about recovery? In this episode of 'The #RecoveryFirst Podcast', host Mike Todd dives into the necessity of advocacy within the recovery community. He passionately argues that every voice, no matter how small, has the power to make a significant impact. Todd addresses the stigma and discrimination that often come with being an advocate for recovery, pointing out the double standards that exist when compared to other social causes.
But he doesn't stop there. He encourages listeners to rise above the criticism and continue promoting their message through podcasts, social media, or any platform they have access to. Todd also highlights the importance of open conversations about addiction and mental health, especially given the current opioid crisis. He underscores the crucial role of peer support specialists and community organizations in tackling these issues head-on.
This episode isn't just a call to action; it's a reminder that every individual can contribute to the cause. Whether you're directly affected by substance use disorder or looking to support someone who is, Todd's insights offer valuable guidance on how to get involved and make a difference.
