I didn't know how to get the help I needed, I didn't know how to ask, I didn't know who to look to. But because of what I've learned in the past year and the people that I've met, like, I've got a chance, you know, even when my program ends and Ellen's structuring falls away, you know, I feel like I have a chance, and that's something I never felt before.
What would you choose if faced with the choice between prison and recovery? In this episode of the Cover 2 Resources podcast, Greg Mcneil sits down with Todd Popovich, a resident of Rutland, Vermont, who chose the path of recovery over incarceration. Todd opens up about his tumultuous journey through addiction, starting from childhood trauma to the harrowing depths of heroin use.
He recounts the terrifying moment when his tolerance led him to shoot two bags of dope at once, a decision that could have ended his life. But instead of prison, Todd found himself in Vermont's innovative recovery program, which offered him a lifeline. He speaks candidly about the pivotal role his family, especially his aunt, played in his recovery journey by making an effort to understand his struggles.
Now on the brink of graduating from his recovery program, Todd is filled with hope and determination to help others facing similar battles. This episode not only highlights Todd's personal story but also sheds light on Vermont's unique approach to breaking the cycle of addiction. It's a raw and inspiring conversation that underscores the importance of family support and the possibility of a fresh start.
