Picture this: a group of bikers, leather jackets and all, coming together to fight opioid addiction. In this compelling episode of Right Turn Radio, hosts Jon Cohan, Abby Dean, and Woody Giessmann sit down with Joanne Peterson from Learn 2 Cope, along with Bruce Fiene and Tracy Wheeler from Rally 2 Recovery. Bruce, a biker and co-founder of Rally 2 Recovery, shares how his son's struggle with opioid addiction led him to this unexpected but supportive community.
Tracy adds her perspective, highlighting the strength they found in Learn 2 Cope, a group that became their lifeline during dark times. Joanne Peterson dives into the origins and mission of Learn 2 Cope, emphasizing the crucial role of community support in battling addiction. The episode also touches on the Rally to Recovery charity motorcycle ride, a powerful event aimed at raising awareness and funds for families affected by addiction.
With personal stories and candid conversations, this episode sheds light on the human side of the opioid crisis and the incredible power of solidarity.
