What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this engaging episode of Really Good Shares, host A.J. Daulerio welcomes back social worker and interventionist Joe Schrank for a candid conversation about the often overlooked Recovery Month, celebrated every September. Despite its significance, Recovery Month remains largely ignored, and Joe and A.J. are on a mission to change that.
Joe, known for his candidness and humour, shares his insights on why Recovery Month lacks the recognition it deserves and discusses his efforts to promote it. The episode also dives into broader themes, including the complexity of addiction recovery, the importance of honesty in storytelling, and the need for a more inclusive approach to recovery that goes beyond total abstinence.

The episode leaves you pondering how society can better support those on their journey to sobriety and how each of us can contribute to raising awareness.
