I put that little thing and it says you know I'm going to be working on something, and then what, what that one something was was just a sense of purpose and it was something that I knew was right and I knew, knew it was good and it was going to be helping people.
Ever wondered how one person's battle with addiction can spark a movement to educate and save lives? Meet Peter Faulk, a multifaceted individual—director of marketing, father, musician, and someone who's been sober for over eight years. In this episode of 'Emerge. Evolve. Lead.', host Maureen Ross Gemme dives into Peter's journey from self-medication to sobriety and his creation of Soberworld.org.
This isn't just another recovery story; it's a mission to tackle the root causes of addiction before they start affecting young lives. Peter shares his eye-opening realization that most efforts to combat addiction are reactive rather than proactive. With Soberworld.org, he aims to flip the script by educating young people about the dangers of substance abuse before it becomes their go-to solution for life's challenges.
His platform is designed to sustain recovery beyond traditional meetings, making sobriety an integral part of daily life. Throughout the conversation, Peter emphasizes the staggering financial and societal costs of addiction. He points out that we lose millions globally to alcohol-related deaths each year, with nearly 90,000 in the USA alone. By focusing on education and early intervention, Peter believes we can significantly reduce these numbers. But it's not just about stats and figures.
Peter's story is also about personal growth and leadership. He highlights how the skills developed during recovery can be powerful tools for leading others and making a positive impact. As he puts it, 'I'm making the world a better place, helping other people along the way, continually improving on ourselves'. If you're looking for an inspiring conversation that blends personal recovery with a broader mission to fight addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
Tune in to hear how Peter Faulk is turning his past struggles into a force for good with Soberworld.org.
