Men in Recovery: Stories of Support and Change
We're trying to change the whole stigma of people with addiction issues and mental health issues and change the legal system and believing that they belong in jail right and getting them where, getting them the help they need, and that's the, instead of just throwing them behind bars.
What happens when men who've walked the path of recovery come together to help others? In this episode of The Recovery Hour, hosts Bill Carruthers and Tanisha Character sit down with Steven Fambrough, Timothy Robinson, and Lewis Usher. These men share their heartfelt stories and the passion that drives them to support others re-entering society after incarceration.

The conversation touches on the importance of creating systems that provide better opportunities, such as partnerships with employment agencies and transportation solutions that grant access to essential resources and education. Their mission is clear: to reduce the number of people in jail by offering support and changing the stigma surrounding addiction and mental health. This episode wraps up with a powerful message of hope, reminding listeners that recovery is possible for everyone.
