Young people in recovery are not just surviving but thriving. They are building communities and supporting each other to live their best lives and make a positive impact on society.
What happens when young people take the reins in the recovery community? In this episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', Sarah Nerad, a trailblazer in long-term recovery since 2007, shares her journey and insights. As a founding member of Young People in Recovery and cofounder of PTR Associates, Sarah brings a fresh perspective on how young individuals are not just surviving but thriving in their sobriety journeys.
With boundless energy and optimism, they are creating robust support systems and making meaningful contributions to society. Sarah delves into the unique challenges young people face in recovery, particularly the need for authentic spirituality and tailored support. Traditional recovery programs often miss these nuances, but organizations like Young People in Recovery fill this gap by offering spaces where young individuals can connect, share experiences, and uplift each other. Sarah emphasizes that self-care is crucial for young people in recovery.
It's about finding what sparks joy—be it through hobbies, community service, or personal interests—and integrating these activities into daily life to foster a sense of purpose beyond sobriety. The episode also highlights the importance of effective messaging and engagement. Young people bring unique perspectives that can shape the future of recovery programs and policies. By providing training and support, organizations like Young People in Recovery empower them to become advocates and leaders within the community.
Sarah's advice for those on their spiritual path is to focus on personal growth while giving back to others. Whether through volunteering, mentoring, or simply being a supportive friend, young people have the power to make a significant impact. Tune in to hear Sarah's inspiring story and learn how young people are leading the way in building a high-quality life and constructive participation in society. Their journey is a testament to resilience, community, and the transformative power of recovery.
