Brian Bayliss: Turning Addiction into a Lifeline for Others

Relapse isn't when you just put that drink in your mouth...the real gap in care and treatment is aftercare continuing care.
Ever wondered how someone can transform their darkest moments into a beacon of hope for others? Brian Bayliss, founder of the Ascent app, takes us on his remarkable journey from addiction to entrepreneurship in this episode of Steppin' Out Radio. Brian's story begins with the heavy burden of stress that led him to drink during the day. It wasn't until a friend introduced him to Alcoholics Anonymous that he managed to stop drinking for six years.
However, he soon recognized a critical gap in aftercare, which inspired him to create Ascent. This innovative app marries the effectiveness of a well-researched e-recovery tool with the compassionate touch of virtual peer recovery coaching. Through Brian's candid storytelling, listeners will gain valuable insights into the importance of aftercare in maintaining sobriety and the positive ripple effects of being present and mindful.
He also sheds light on the broader impact of addiction on communities and how Ascent aims to fill the void in continuing care. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Brian's experiences and the development of Ascent offer a fresh perspective on the ongoing battle against addiction.
