Maybe if we invest some of the time in a bigger picture, we can be of greater benefit to our society and recovery community.
Ever wondered if your commitment to recovery could extend beyond the walls of your local meeting? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of) - The Podcast', hosts Billy and Jason sit down with Jenn T. to explore the idea of serving the addiction recovery community outside traditional program boundaries. They dive into the often-overlooked needs that go unmet when we limit our service to just showing up at meetings.
Jenn shares her inspiring journey of branching out from her recovery program to take a proactive role in the broader addiction recovery landscape. She highlights how funds earmarked for recovery often end up in for-profit treatment centers due to a lack of available community programs, and she offers practical advice on how to get involved with existing non-profits or even start your own initiative if none exist in your area.
The conversation also touches on the importance of community and connection in recovery, advocating for change, and the powerful impact of peer support. By the end of the episode, you'll be inspired to think about how you can contribute to the recovery community in ways that extend beyond your personal journey. Tune in for an engaging discussion that challenges you to look at recovery through a wider lens.
