So I need to be okay for asking for help. We were, we're supposed to just stay in this little bubble and not talk about it. I think that's what's so critical for people to understand, and that's what our whole show is about, you know, is that is that you chose to use alcohol- you know what I mean- and other stuff.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn a life around from the grips of addiction to one of advocacy and leadership? In this episode of 'Boy Open Up', hosts Doug Hildreth and Christine Stacey sit down with Christopher Dickie, the CEO of Natural State Recovery in Arkansas. Chris shares his personal journey, shedding light on the highs and lows that brought him to his current role, where he dedicates his life to helping others find their path to recovery.
The conversation doesn't shy away from tough topics like rising overdose rates and the dangers of self-harm, but it also brings hope by emphasizing the power of peer support and the importance of breaking the stigma surrounding addiction. Chris's story is a testament to resilience, illustrating how lived experiences can become a beacon of hope for those still struggling. The episode wraps up with a lighter note on coffee culture, reminding us all to find joy in life's simple pleasures.
