I respect it so much that I'm going to let you go and you ain't even got to do your assignments. I didn't remember it until you told me that you could know much about it, because you were talking about stages of change and stages of recovery.
Picture this: a close brush with death that turns into a story of hope and renewal. That's exactly what Michael Serrano brings to the table in this episode of CCAR’s Recovery Matters! Podcast. This time, Rebecca Allen, CCAR's director of recovery advocacy, steps in as a special guest host alongside Phil Valentine. Together, they dive deep into Michael's incredible journey through the dark days of addiction to his present role as a beacon of recovery and advocacy.
Michael isn't just any guest; he's also the host of the Spanish language recovery podcast La Recuperacion Importa, which means he has a unique perspective on the importance of reaching diverse communities. During the conversation, Michael opens up about how crucial relationships are in the recovery process and the urgent need for more recovery centers in various communities. His story is not just about personal triumph but also about giving back and making a difference.
If you’re looking for a tale that combines raw honesty with inspiration, this episode is a must-listen. Michael's journey underscores the transformative power of recovery and highlights the vital role community and support play in overcoming addiction.
