For me, it's very important to show, well, it's important that I am vulnerable, you know, and show the participants that I mentor, mentee, whatever the relationship there is, but demonstrate to the participants that I'm still human and my recovery requires me to be open about my feelings and to find tools that when I'm not feeling okay, you know, I use my tools right, you know, because I love to say, oh yay, Rosie, and I'm happy all the time, but I wake up angry more often than I would like.
Imagine finding yourself lost in the maze of addiction, with no clear path to recovery. In this episode of 'Get In The Herd', Nathan Mitchell and Alex Bond sit down with Jamie Christopher Baker to discuss the many roads to sobriety and the stigma that often shadows those on this journey. Jamie opens up about his own struggles with addiction and how he discovered multiple pathways to recovery, each offering unique challenges and rewards.
He stresses the importance of vulnerability, a trait that can be both a burden and a blessing in the recovery process. The conversation also dives into the crucial role of community support and the resources needed to create effective rehabilitation programs. Jamie doesn't shy away from tough topics, including the regulation of substances and the inconsistencies that can hinder progress.
Throughout the episode, listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own experiences or those of loved ones, and to consider the importance of seeking support. The episode wraps up with a powerful call-to-action: reach out for help through the McShin Foundation if you or someone you know is battling substance use disorder. Tune in for an honest, heartfelt discussion that sheds light on the complexities of addiction and the hope that lies in recovery.
