Recovery is a journey, not a destination. It takes time, effort, and support to overcome addiction, especially for college students who face unique challenges on campus.

In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods chats with Randy Haveson, a seasoned counselor and university administrator with over three decades of experience. Randy, who has been in recovery himself since 1984, brings a wealth of knowledge to the table.

From the peer pressure to drink and use drugs to the pervasive culture of alcohol in Greek organizations, the conversation is both eye-opening and relatable.
They discuss how hard it can be to stay sober while navigating the social intricacies of campus life. But it’s not all doom and gloom.

He talks about the benefits of state-dependent learning and emphasizes the importance of finding solid support systems and treatment options for students. His message is clear: recovery is a journey that requires time, effort, and a lot of support.
