Out of all the diseases, addiction is the one that tells you that you don't have it.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around and then dedicate it to helping others do the same? Meet Mark, a psychiatric and family nurse practitioner, whose journey is nothing short of inspiring. In this episode of The ARCast, Mark opens up about his life growing up in Harrisburg, PA, and the heart-wrenching loss of his youngest sibling to cancer.
His story takes you through the ups and downs of addiction, his time in the military, and the decision to go back to school in his 30s to become a nurse practitioner. Mark’s experiences aren’t just about personal struggle; they’re about resilience and the power of second chances. Today, he’s on the front lines, helping others navigate their own paths to recovery.
His insights into the importance of compassionate medical care offer a unique perspective on the role healthcare professionals play in addiction recovery. If you’re looking for a story that combines hardship, hope, and the drive to make a difference, this episode is a must-listen.
