Drug users should be met with dignity. I don't have all the answers, that's for sure. But meeting people where they are, and treating them with dignity and respect, is a good start.
Imagine facing addiction and finding not just a path to recovery, but also a community that treats you with dignity and respect. In this episode of the 'Recovery First' podcast, host Mike Todd opens up about his personal journey through addiction and the pivotal role that dignity and connection played in his recovery. Mike shares how prayer and sponsorship became lifelines, illustrating how one person’s support can make all the difference for someone struggling with substance use disorder.
The conversation also dives into the critical aspects of recovery housing and the advocacy needed to support these initiatives. You'll hear about the efforts to increase access to naloxone, a life-saving medication, and the importance of mentorship in the recovery process. This episode isn't just about Mike's story; it’s about the broader message that treating people with dignity and fostering connections can transform lives.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in learning more about addiction and recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt stories that underscore the power of community support. Tune in for an inspiring discussion that highlights the importance of respect, connection, and advocacy in the journey to sobriety.
