If America could find compassion, it could be the way America recovers.
What if the path to recovery involved a mix of mysticism, creativity, and compassion? In this episode of Dopey, Evan Haines, co-founder of Oro Recovery and a recovering addict, dives into these themes while discussing his new book, 'Can America Recover?' Co-written with Bob Forrest, the book tackles the big question: Can America find its way to recovery? Evan opens up about his own tumultuous journey, from a traumatic childhood to founding a treatment center in Southern California.
He also addresses the controversial idea that Bill Wilson, the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, might have been under the influence of LSD during his spiritual awakening. The conversation doesn’t shy away from deep topics like the role of imagination in recovery and the importance of treating those struggling with addiction with compassion. As Evan puts it, 'If America could find compassion, it could be the way America recovers'.
This episode is a compelling listen for anyone curious about the future of addiction treatment and the transformative power of empathy.
