The moral test of government is how it treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children, those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.
David Koss, JD, isn't just a member of the SMART Recovery Board of Directors; he's also the Director of Government Relations. In this episode, he dives into the nitty-gritty of how federal legislation impacts addiction and recovery. Koss sheds light on House Bill HR7666, a crucial piece of legislation focusing on mental health funding that directly benefits those seeking or already in recovery.
He emphasizes the importance of voting and getting involved, especially during election years, to support members of Congress who are dedicated to tackling the addiction epidemic. But it's not all about policy; Koss also shares insights into the various paths for mutual aid, including SMART Recovery, LifeRing, and even some 12-step meetings. If you're interested in how government action can shape addiction recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
