Recovery has given me an opportunity to like myself, love myself, work on myself and you know, and somehow, by default, that's made me spiritually capable of helping other people like me find a new way of life, like it was done for me.
Ever wondered how recovery programs work behind bars? In this episode of 'Get in the Herd', host Nathan Mitchell sits down with Christopher “Cricket” Ronquest to uncover the vital role of peer recovery in jails and prisons. Cricket opens up about his own experience, sharing how a scholarship to a recovery program became his lifeline while he was incarcerated.
He paints a vivid picture of the challenges faced by those in jail, from dealing with the initial shock to finding ways to hold oneself accountable. Through his story, you'll see how crucial family support and self-reflection are in the path to recovery. The episode also dives into the roles of facilitators and probation officers, shedding light on how they can either aid or hinder the recovery process.
Cricket doesn't shy away from discussing the vulnerability of early recovery stages and why authentic peer support is so transformative. By advocating for alternative approaches to treating substance use disorder, he offers a fresh perspective on what true recovery looks like. If you're curious about how these programs operate and want to hear a firsthand account of resilience, this episode is a must-listen.
