There's hope for everybody, no matter where a person.
What if the traditional recovery path isn't the only way to overcome addiction? In this episode of the LPP Podcast, Zach Rhoads sits down with Daniel Snyder, a man who knows firsthand that there are alternative routes to reclaiming one's life.
Living in Langley, British Columbia, Daniel is not just a survivor of a 15-year heroin addiction; he's also a project and peer coordinator at Langley Overdose Response and the founder of Mindful Hope, a resource hub for harm reduction and sensible drug policy. After struggling with 12-step programs and feeling perplexed by their approach, Daniel found solace and success in SMART Recovery.
He now thrives without labeling himself as 'in recovery', a term he respects but feels doesn't fit his journey. This episode dives into Daniel's story of resilience and transformation. He challenges conventional notions of 'recovery' and 'relapse', advocating for harm reduction strategies that save lives without fitting everyone into the same mold. Daniel also sheds light on the benefits and pitfalls of various drug policies in North America, stressing the need for tailored approaches.
He even explores the controversial idea that drugs, including illicit ones, can have a reasonable place in some people's lives. With a focus on self-agency and personal responsibility, Daniel's insights offer a refreshing take on addiction and recovery. Whether you're personally affected by addiction or looking to support someone who is, this conversation is packed with thought-provoking perspectives and practical advice. Tune in to hear Daniel's hopeful message and learn how he's making a difference in his community.
