So you're not screaming into the wilderness anymore. We advocate for a defoundization, we advocate for better good samaritan laws, which you know, we have a personal connection with that one, with you on that, and I appreciate you.
What happens when a passionate advocate for recovery steps into the political arena? In this episode of 'Get in the Herd', host Nathan Mitchell welcomes Delegate Mike Mullin (D-Newport News) to discuss the 2022 Virginia General Assembly and the strides being made in addiction recovery. Mullin shares his optimism about the current political climate and the efforts by Virginia Democrats to create an accrediting body for quality sober homes across the state.
He highlights the importance of peer involvement and reentry programs in jails, which provide hope and a clear path forward for those battling addiction. Mullin doesn't shy away from discussing the challenges that sober homes and municipalities face, emphasizing the need for better coordination among recovery services and advocating for improved Good Samaritan laws to reduce stigma and barriers to recovery.
Personal experiences and reflections on anonymity in recovery are shared, showcasing the role of organizations like the McShin Foundation in offering a supportive community. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the intersection of politics and recovery, and how community involvement can drive positive change.
