Recovery is a process of moving from surviving to thriving as a whole person.
What if recovery wasn't just about quitting substances but transforming lives? In this episode of 'Get In The Herd AFTER HOURS', Jesse Heffernan and Angela Mallette dig deep into the many layers of substance use disorder and recovery. Jesse, a seasoned Recovery Coach from Wisconsin, brings his unique perspective from years of working with grassroots nonprofits. Angela, the driving force behind the Mississippi Harm Reduction Initiative, shares her journey from addiction to advocacy.
Together, they tackle big issues like drug policy reform, harm reduction, and the controversial idea of decriminalizing substances. Jesse likens Narcan to a seatbelt, emphasizing its life-saving potential in overdose situations. Angela sheds light on how harm reduction programs can be a lifeline for those battling addiction. The conversation also delves into the importance of community support and the need for a more compassionate criminal justice system.
Jesse and Angela's personal stories are not just tales of survival but of thriving against all odds. They stress that recovery is a deeply personal journey and that there's no one-size-fits-all solution. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of addiction and the systemic changes needed to support recovery.
