Episode 1540: Jo Sullivan / Counselor & Fund Raiser

Jo Sullivan's story begins with a blackout from her very first drink, a moment she thought would be her last. But just three days later, she found herself drinking again. Now, Jo is on a different path, one that involves helping others find their way out of addiction. Her background in fundraising for organizations like the ASPCA and MADD gives her a unique perspective on the recovery movement.

Jo sees addiction advocacy as a cause that needs to break free from stigma, much like early HIV/AIDS campaigns or the fight against child hunger. In this episode of 'Since Right Now', Jo shares her journey from active addiction to becoming a middle-aged woman in recovery who went back to school to study Addiction Counseling. She now works with young men battling addiction every day.

Jo's story is a testament to the power of community and the importance of finding purpose in helping others. Tune in to hear how Jo's past experiences have shaped her present and how she's using her skills to make a difference in the recovery community.
