What I love about these meetings is that people can come out and they can share their experience, they can share their strength, and they can share their hope with other people who are suffering.
Imagine a room filled with people at different stages of their recovery journey, sharing their stories and supporting one another. That's exactly what you'll find in this special live episode of the 217 Recovery Podcast, hosted by Corey Winfield.

As someone who's walked the path of long-term recovery himself, Corey knows firsthand how crucial a supportive network can be. The meeting kicks off with Corey addressing the hurdles faced by those in recovery, such as stigma and the lack of accessible treatment options. He doesn't just talk about these issues; he lives them, making his insights both genuine and relatable.
Throughout the episode, you'll hear from various attendees who share their personal experiences, offering a tapestry of perspectives that underscore the importance of community. Corey emphasizes listening with an open heart and mind, and the power of shared stories in fostering hope and resilience. One standout moment is when attendees discuss the struggle to find affordable treatment, highlighting the need for greater advocacy and activism.
Corey encourages everyone to get involved in efforts to improve access to resources and to speak out about their own needs. Stigma is another major theme, with many sharing feelings of shame and isolation. Corey stresses the importance of education and awareness to combat these negative perceptions. He urges listeners to promote compassion and understanding around addiction and recovery. As the meeting wraps up, Corey reflects on the transformative power of community support.
He encourages everyone to stay connected, continue sharing their journeys, and offer support to others. His closing words capture the essence of the episode: 'People can come out and share their experience, strength, and hope with others who are suffering.' If you or someone you care about is navigating the challenges of addiction, this episode offers a wealth of insights and inspiration for building a strong, supportive recovery community.
