Michael King on Mobilizing Communities to Combat Addiction

The single biggest tool that we all have is our story. We promote a lot of these stories, and I mean one of the best parts is getting to read these personal stories of folks- not just people in recovery, but family members who've lost loved ones and why they're using that experience to try to help other families now.
What if you could unite millions of voices to tackle addiction head-on? Michael King, the National Director of Outreach & Engagement for Facing Addiction, takes us on a journey through his work in this powerful episode of 'Since Right Now'. With a background in political organizing and a personal story of long-term recovery, Michael brings a unique perspective to the table.
He talks about the ambitious mission of Facing Addiction, a national non-profit dedicated to rallying the 45 million Americans affected by addiction. Michael sheds light on how the organization builds coalitions and supports local communities through the Facing Addiction Action Network. Ever wondered how a community can come together to fight addiction? Michael explains their pilot program that aims to create a national template for grassroots efforts.
He emphasizes the power of personal stories in inspiring change and discusses the crucial role of community support systems like Oxford House. The episode wraps up with a candid discussion on the political landscape's impact on addiction treatment and how you can get involved as a Facing Addiction ambassador. This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about making a difference in the fight against addiction.
