The through line is that we are all unique individuals who recover in a unique way.
Ever wondered how a punk drummer balances the chaos of music and the struggle of addiction? Meet Joey Jonas, the powerhouse behind the drum kit for Milwaukee's Bad Year. In this heartfelt episode of '40,000 Steps Radio', host Christopher Heimerman sits down with Joey to discuss his incredible journey from heroin addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for others battling similar demons.
Joey's story isn't just about hitting rock bottom; it's about climbing back up, one beat at a time. He now provides peer support for Community Medical Services, an opioid treatment program that combines medication-assisted interventions with behavioral health services. Joey's insights into harm reduction and the success of medication-assisted recovery are both eye-opening and inspiring. But it's not all heavy talk; they also dive into how addiction has influenced Joey's creativity and the band's new EP.
Presented by MKE Overdose Prevention, this episode offers free tools and education on harm reduction, making it a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction or mental illness. So grab your headphones and join the conversation—you might just find the encouragement you need.
