I want to shout from the rooftops that, guess what, we create mountains of mess and we can work through them and make amends for those things that we've done wrong and we've harmed, and then we have the ability to take that experience and try to use it to help other people whenever possible, and that's something that's very personal to me.
Michael King isn't just another face in the crowd; he's a testament to the power of recovery. In this episode, Laurie McDougall and Annie Highwater sit down with Michael, who opens up about his battle with alcoholism, the professional setbacks he faced, and his path to sobriety. But Michael's story doesn't end with his recovery. Instead, it marks the beginning of his mission to help others navigate their own struggles.
As the director of outreach and engagement for Facing Addiction, Michael passionately discusses the importance of collegiate recovery programs and breaking down the stigma surrounding addiction. He believes that sharing complete stories, not just the messy parts, is crucial for those seeking help. Michael also highlights the resources available through Facing Addiction's Addiction Resource Hub and stresses the need for community-driven solutions to tackle America's addiction crisis.
This episode is a beacon of hope, reminding us all that recovery is possible and that support is out there. Tune in to hear Michael's inspiring journey and learn how you can be part of the change.
