I think that when we have these pro-social events...I've never seen people that are so ready to serve other people.
Ever thought about how a judge views the path to recovery? In this episode of 'The Recovery Hour', Judge Nancy Bills of Rockdale County Superior Court sits down with hosts Bill Carruthers and Tanisha Character to share her unique perspective. With years of experience in the criminal justice system, Judge Bills offers a fresh take on the concept of 'progress, not perfection' in the recovery journey.
She dives into the transformative changes she's witnessed in Rockdale County and her hopes for the future, particularly through innovative programs like the Rockdale County Stepping Up Initiative. This initiative aims to reduce the number of people with mental health and substance use challenges in the criminal justice system. Judge Bills doesn’t just talk policy; she brings in personal anecdotes and reflections that highlight the importance of community and peer support in achieving long-term sobriety.
She emphasizes that recovery isn’t about getting everything right the first time but about making steady progress and finding strength in connections with others. Her insights into accountability courts reveal how these systems can support individuals in their recovery journeys, providing much-needed resources and a sense of hope. Listeners will find themselves inspired by Judge Bills' dedication to fostering a supportive environment for those in recovery.
Her stories remind us that while perfection is an unrealistic goal, progress is always within reach. Whether you're on your own recovery path or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable takeaways on the power of community and the importance of incremental progress.
