We help people who don't believe in themselves... It's just passing that forward, because that's truly what recovery work is.
Imagine a place where everyone around you truly understands your struggles because they've been there too. That's the heart of Easy Does It, Inc., a not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping individuals break free from addiction and rebuild their lives. In this episode of 'Your Bridge To Addiction Resources', Phil Bennett, Case Manager at Easy Does It, Inc.
- Walnut Street, shares how the organization supports up to 62 men and women with food, clothing, shelter, and a wealth of supportive services. What makes Easy Does It, Inc. unique is that every staff member is in recovery themselves. This creates an environment filled with empathy and understanding. Residents here aren't just given a place to stay; they're given the tools to thrive. They maintain appointments, seek employment, attend counseling sessions, and participate in 12-step meetings.
Life skills groups teach them how to budget, cook, and even balance a checkbook. There's also a transportation program to help residents get to and from work. Phil opens up about his personal journey to recovery and how it shapes his work. He remembers what it was like to be on the other side of the desk, uncertain about living without mood-altering substances. His story is one of transformation and giving back.
He emphasizes the importance of helping others who might not believe in themselves yet. This episode isn't just about services; it's about community and hope. Through Easy Does It, Inc.'s program, residents find a solid base and a renewed sense of purpose. Tune in to hear Phil's inspiring journey and learn how this organization is making a real difference.
