Whenever I was in law enforcement later in my career, I recognized addiction as a disease and I recognized that these people aren't bad people just making bad choices. They're people who are hurting, who are suffering.
What drives someone to dedicate their life to helping others? For Christopher Sposetti, it’s a mix of his experiences in the military and law enforcement. In this episode of Recovery Radio, Christopher, now a Shift Administrator at Retreat Palm Beach, opens up about his path to working in addiction recovery. His story is a testament to resilience and the importance of seeing addiction through a compassionate lens.
Christopher talks about the heavy toll addiction takes on first responders and military veterans. He shares how his time in law enforcement shifted his perspective, helping him realize that addiction isn’t about bad choices but about people in pain who need support. His journey underscores the importance of recognizing addiction as a disease rather than a moral failing. He also dives into Retreat's partnership with the VA and their specialized tracks for those with co-occurring issues.
Christopher's insights offer a unique look into how his background equips him to help others navigate their recovery journeys. The episode wraps up with a heartfelt invitation to learn more about the work being done at Retreat and the passion driving their mission. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the multifaceted nature of addiction and the critical role empathy plays in recovery.
