Charles LeVoir: The Power of Sharing Stories in Addiction Recovery
Our recovery stories don't just matter, they are very lifeblood of the recovery community.
What does it take to turn a life around from the depths of addiction? Charles LeVoir knows firsthand. In this episode of 'Recovery Revolution Live', Charles opens up about his journey from alcoholism to long-term recovery. Raised in the Twin Cities, he found hope and a path to sobriety through a 12-Step program and the fellowship of others who shared their stories. He emphasizes that these recovery stories are the lifeblood of the recovery community.
They offer hope and a sense of belonging to those who feel lost and alone. Inspired by this, Charles created 'The Way Out Podcast' in 2016, a platform where he and others 'Recover Out Loud' to help others find their way. Charles also delves into the role of spirituality in his recovery, sharing how it has helped him manage cravings and stay focused on his journey.
He talks about the stigma and discrimination that people with addiction face and how it has impacted his recovery. But through community and connection, he has found strength and support. Tune in to hear Charles discuss the importance of sharing recovery stories, the challenges he's faced, and how he continues to find strength in his journey.
