The Comeback: Healing Through Art and Community Support

It's about providing the evidence that recovery is possible, but just not that recovery is possible.
Imagine a place where creativity and community come together to support recovery. In this episode of 'Recovery Talks by Kennedy Street', host Clare Kennedy chats with three remarkable individuals from The North East Lincolnshire Recovery Community. These guests, all involved with 'The Comeback', share their personal stories of addiction, trauma, and the powerful role that art and community have played in their journeys to sobriety.
Sam Delaney, the founder and director of Creative Start Arts in Health CIC, opens up about how he uses painting as a tool for his own recovery and to inspire others. He highlights the importance of creating opportunities and building self-esteem through large-scale community art projects. Jono Heskin, a key member of The Comeback management team, discusses his dedication to helping others overcome addiction and the challenges he has faced along the way.
Ian Gower, another integral part of the community, adds his perspective on the impact of mutual aid and daytime recovery programs. Together, they explore the significance of stepping out of one's comfort zone and the ongoing effort required to maintain a recovery-focused charity. This episode is a heartfelt testament to the transformative power of art and the unwavering support of a close-knit community. It's a must-listen for anyone seeking hope and inspiration on their own path to recovery.
