They're connecting with somebody and they're talking about it and they're not holding it in. We hear people say I used to draw all the time or I used to write and I'm like: right, okay, one of the things we always say to the guys is write a list of stuff that you used to do, but you don't do it anymore for having a cup of tea.
What does it take to turn personal challenges into a beacon of hope for others? Mel McPherson knows firsthand. In this episode of 'Life with Alcohol and Drugs,' Mel opens up about her transformative journey to becoming a support group leader. She shares how she founded My Support Day, a lifeline for many families grappling with substance abuse.
Her story doesn't stop there; Mel also launched All in the Family during the first Covid lockdown, proving that support can thrive even in the toughest times. Through candid conversations, Mel highlights the power of peer-led groups and the crucial role of self-care. This episode is a heartfelt testament to resilience and community, offering valuable insights for anyone touched by addiction.
