Bob Cox's Mission: Building Bridges to Recovery in Lowell

It's amazing sometimes if you just get out of the way and just kind of see what happens.
Imagine a place where those on the path to sobriety can find not just support, but a true sense of community. In this episode of 'Friends In Recovery', Mike goes solo and sits down with Bob Cox, a passionate advocate for recovery. Bob shares his inspiring journey, from his own battles with addiction to his involvement with Genesis House, a nonprofit that played a pivotal role in his recovery.
Bob talks about his latest venture, The Bridge Club of Greater Lowell, which was inspired by his experiences at the EDI (Easy Does It) club. Seeing a gap in similar facilities in Massachusetts, Bob decided to create a space where people in recovery can come together, share their stories, and support each other. The Bridge Club is set to feature three major meeting rooms and will offer a variety of services aimed at helping individuals on their sobriety journey.
Partnering with local organizations like Lowell General Hospital, The Bridge Club aims to provide comprehensive support to those in need. Bob also shares some heartwarming stories from his own recovery journey, emphasizing the importance of community and the miracles that can happen when people come together to help each other. The episode also touches on the opioid epidemic and the urgent need for more facilities like The Bridge Club.
Bob's dedication to giving back and helping others shines through as he discusses the logo design contest for the club and how they plan to engage the community in this new venture. Tune in to hear more about Bob Cox's remarkable story and the positive impact The Bridge Club of Greater Lowell hopes to make. It's an episode filled with hope, determination, and the power of community.
