For me, it's really helpful to have something outside of myself to find fulfilment.
Dive into the compelling story of Joely Feder, a young adult navigating the complex path of recovery from substance abuse. Joely shares her journey through anxiety, depression, and OCD, which ultimately led to her substance use. Her candid reflections on the challenges faced and the triumphs achieved offer a raw look at the reality of addiction and recovery.
With two years of sobriety under her belt, Joely now works at MyPIR, a peer-to-peer support organisation, helping other young adults find their way to recovery. This episode uncovers how Joely's personal struggles have shaped her passion for supporting others in similar situations. Through her work, she not only finds fulfilment but also a sense of accountability that aids her own recovery.
Her story is a testament to the power of peer support and the importance of understanding and empathy in the recovery process. If you're curious about how peer support can transform lives or seeking inspiration from someone who's walked the path, Joely's story is one you won't want to miss.
