From Banking to Healing: Ben Reynolds on Practical Recovery Needs
“Some of the things that we don't often think about is when we're in crisis, when we're struggling with various addictions, some of the things that kind of go to the wayside are just some of the practical needs, like budgets and taxes and driver's licenses and so on and so forth, things that can overwhelm us to the point where you know we go back to those unwanted behaviours.”
Ever wondered how practical needs tie into addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Healing Connections', hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill sit down with Ben Reynolds, the CFO of the Refuge Ministry. Ben takes us on a journey from his days in banking to his current role in non-profit work, shedding light on how financial management can support addiction recovery. He talks about the importance of seeking wise counsel and building personal relationships as pillars of the recovery process.
Ben's unique perspective offers valuable insights for anyone looking to understand the nuts and bolts of supporting recovery efforts. This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt stories that underscore the power of community and thoughtful planning in overcoming addiction.
