I think the greatest tool, Chris, is the tool of power, of example. And I had to go through a lot of trials and tribulations to become the person I am. Had I not, I don't know that I would be anything like the person that I am Today.
Imagine surviving a near-fatal car accident at 19 and then battling addiction for years. This is the beginning of John Winslow's incredible journey, which he shares over a cuppa with Chris Nell. A retired counsellor, John has dedicated his life to helping others overcome addiction and mental health struggles. His career is nothing short of remarkable, having served as a counsellor at Quantico, supported law enforcement during 9/11, and led the Maryland Addiction Director’s Council.
Even in retirement, John's mission to support the newly sober and sober-curious continues with unwavering dedication. One of his most significant contributions is founding International Recovery Day, which debuted on September 30th and aims to unite people worldwide in the fight against addiction. In this episode, John delves into the importance of mentorship and the power of example in recovery.
He candidly discusses the stigma surrounding addiction and the need for a new language that brings recovery out of the shadows and into the public eye. John's story is a testament to resilience, hope, and the transformative power of recovery. Whether you're on your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, John's insights offer a beacon of hope and practical advice.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation that underscores the message: recovery is possible, and you don't have to do it alone.
