Embrace Recovery: Mike Todd's Insights on Connection and Community Support
“Connection is such a big part of recovery, and it's funny. They did an interview today and of course we did it, you know, by zoom or whatever. The big, what was the big problem with this? But at the same time, I think that we also have to use that as a motivator.”
What does it take to foster a thriving recovery community? Mike Todd from the Freedom Recovery Center of Greenville shares his experiences and thoughts on this question in a compelling episode of The #RecoveryFirst Podcast. This episode is a heartfelt dive into the importance of connection, diversity, and inclusion within the recovery space. Mike doesn't just talk about recovery; he lives it, offering a genuine and relatable perspective that resonates with anyone touched by substance use disorder.
One of the key highlights is the upcoming Embrace Recovery event, which aims to shine a positive light on the recovery journey. Mike also discusses the significance of September as Recovery Month and how events like the Catawba Nation's recovery gathering play a crucial role in raising awareness and fostering support. Funding and training peer support specialists come up as essential elements for sustaining these efforts.
Mike emphasizes the need for community backing, urging listeners to reach out to their representatives to advocate for recovery initiatives. The episode goes further to address specialized needs within the community, such as LGBTQIA+ recovery housing and the importance of naloxone in these settings. This episode is more than just informative; it's a call to action and a source of inspiration for anyone involved in or supporting the recovery journey.
