We as people in recovery, those who struggle with substance use disorder, mental illness and those that love us, must have a voice. There should be no third class citizens in This Modern Day society.
Ever felt like the fight for justice and recovery is an uphill battle? Mike Todd knows that struggle all too well. In this episode of the #RecoveryFirst Podcast, he dives deep into the world of advocacy and social justice, especially for those grappling with substance use disorder and mental illness. Mike brings a personal touch, sharing a poignant story about his mother's desperate attempts to find help for him years ago—a scenario that sadly remains familiar to many today.
He passionately argues for the importance of having a voice in crucial discussions about legislation, budgets, and services that affect this vulnerable community. But it's not just about talking; it's about action. Inspired by civil rights icon John Lewis, Mike encourages listeners to 'get in good trouble'—to stand up and speak out for what they believe in. The episode also tackles the often-overlooked challenges within the recovery industry, such as the need for proper training for recovery housing operators.
With a mix of personal anecdotes and broader insights, Mike offers a compelling call to action. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in social justice, this episode is a must-listen. It's a blend of hope, empowerment, and practical advice that aims to inspire change.
