Shattering Stigma: Robert McClellan on Anonymity and Addiction

It's really up to us to remove the stigma. No one's going to give us permission. We have to just go out and live happy, successful lives and let people look at us and say: you know what that person used to be- a drug addict, that person used to be an alcoholic. But look at them now.
Imagine living openly as a person in recovery, free from the shadows of stigma. In this episode of the 'Real Sobriety Podcast', Robert McClellan, a filmmaker and sobriety coach, tackles the pressing issues of anonymity and addiction stigma head-on.

He believes that living a happy, successful life and being an active participant in society is the best way to combat the negative stereotypes surrounding addiction. Robert also delves into the tradition of anonymity within recovery communities, recounting the wisdom of a seasoned fellow who sheds light on its significance. This episode is not just for those in recovery but for anyone who seeks to understand the challenges and triumphs of overcoming addiction.
With his signature blend of humor and heartfelt advice, Robert makes these complex topics accessible and engaging. If you’re looking for motivation, inspiration, or simply a different take on addiction recovery, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear how you can be part of breaking the stigma and fostering a more understanding and supportive community.
