I allowed these guys to call bull crap on me. I allowed them to speak to me and to teach me things and to tell me that my bathroom needed to be cleaned up. Because you know, I, I I didn't treat women well when I came into it. I had to learn they had to teach me how to do that and they had to teach me how to treat myself better.
What role does mentorship play in addiction recovery? Mike Todd, host of The Recovery First Addiction Recovery Podcast, dives into this question with a blend of personal anecdotes and broader insights. Reflecting on his own path to sobriety, Todd shares how early mentors shaped his journey by teaching him accountability, personal responsibility, and self-care. These lessons were not just stepping stones but lifelines that helped him navigate the turbulent waters of early recovery.
Mentorship, Todd argues, provides the guidance and support crucial for building a strong foundation in sobriety. It's about having someone who has walked the path before you, offering wisdom and encouragement when you need it most. But Todd doesn't stop at personal stories. He also highlights the importance of local initiatives in Greenville, South Carolina, such as recovery housing and naloxone education.
Recovery housing offers a safe space for individuals to rebuild their lives, while naloxone education empowers them with the knowledge to prevent opioid overdoses. Todd's reflections are a treasure trove of inspiration and practical advice for anyone touched by addiction, whether you're just starting your recovery journey or have been sober for years. Tune in to hear how mentorship and community support can light the way to a healthier, happier life.
