I spent several years in my own active drug use, and now, advocating and organizing work with people from all over the nation on recovery issues. Generational curses are hard to break, but people can change, parents can get their kids back.
What does it take to transform personal struggle into powerful advocacy? JoAnna Vance knows firsthand. As someone in long-term recovery from Substance Use Disorder (SUD), she has turned her journey into a mission to help others. In this episode of 'Recovery Revolution Live', JoAnna shares her story of overcoming addiction and becoming a beacon of hope for many.
She serves as the West Virginia State Organizer for the Recovery Advocacy Project and is a Recovery Fellow for the American Friends Service Committee. Her roles are more than titles; they are platforms from which she champions harm reduction, peer support, and community engagement. JoAnna opens up about the challenges she faces in her advocacy work, including the deep-rooted issue of generational curses that often perpetuate addiction.
She believes in the transformative power of storytelling, not just as a means of personal healing but as a tool for social change. Through her candid reflections, JoAnna underscores the importance of community support and all-recovery meetings in creating a sense of belonging and resilience. This episode is not just about JoAnna's journey; it's a call to action for anyone touched by addiction, emphasizing that recovery is not a solitary path but a collective effort.
Tune in to hear how one woman's resilience is making waves in the world of addiction recovery.
