Healing Together: The Power of Support in Addiction Recovery

And unfortunately it's not that easy, because now we've gone beyond that fine line and now the substance is in control of us, and that's where all these negative behaviors- addictive behaviors, criminology or Crime- occurs, and then also the lack of responsibilities right with our children maybe paying our bills- no light, no electricity.
What happens when someone shares their deeply personal journey from addiction to recovery? In this heartfelt episode of 'Resilient and Real', Enrique Gonzalez, an Alcohol and Drug Counselor, opens up about his path to sobriety. He offers not just his story, but practical advice for those who have loved ones battling substance abuse. Enrique's insights into the fine line between use and addiction are eye-opening, and his emphasis on community and family support is both touching and essential.
He also breaks down various treatment options, including medically assisted treatments, shedding light on the recovery process in a way that's both informative and encouraging. But that's not all. The episode also celebrates National Social Work Month by featuring Fabeola Lazaro, a passionate social worker who shares her motivations for entering the field. Fabeola’s perspective underscores the critical role social workers play in supporting individuals and families through their toughest times.
Her story adds another layer of depth to this already rich episode. If you're looking for a blend of personal stories and professional advice, this episode is a must-listen. Whether you're directly affected by substance abuse or simply want to understand how to better support those who are, 'Resilient and Real' offers valuable insights wrapped in genuine human experiences.
