There are moments where, like I'm, truly being selfless and trying to give back and helping other people is where I feel like I'm most whole...
Picture this: a mother determined to turn her family's struggle with addiction into a force for good. That's Angel Bryant for you. In this episode of 'The Stigma Ends Here!', hosts Mike and Travis sit down with Angel, the founder of Stronger Than Addiction, to talk about the rollercoaster ride of addiction and the life-changing power of community support. Angel's journey is personal—she's a mother of two addicts, and she's seen the dark side of addiction up close.
But instead of letting it break her, she decided to fight back. She created Stronger Than Addiction, a non-profit that offers hope and resources to those in the grip of addiction. One of their standout initiatives is the Recover Out Loud event. The 2021 edition in Napannee, Indiana, was a huge hit, bringing people together to share stories, support each other, and shatter the stigma surrounding addiction. Plans for the 2022 event are already in motion, promising even more impact.
In this episode, Mike, Travis, and Angel dive deep into how community events like Recover Out Loud can be game-changers in the recovery process. They discuss the emotional highs and lows, the importance of a strong support network, and how collective efforts can lead to individual triumphs. If you're looking for an inspiring story about turning pain into purpose, this episode is a must-listen.
