We gathered up in Greenville, South Carolina. We walked several blocks. We had pictures of our loved ones. We chanted their names and it was just, very, very healing.
When communities unite, healing happens. In this episode of The #RecoveryFirst Podcast, Mike Todd dives into the transformative power of community support, focusing on a recent overdose awareness walk in Greenville, South Carolina. This event brought together over 100 people to honor loved ones lost to overdose and push for change in how addiction is viewed and treated locally. Todd reflects on the emotional impact of the walk and the collective strength that comes from shared experiences and mutual support.
He also tackles tough topics like the stigma surrounding addiction and mental illness, emphasizing the need for openness, love, and dignity in supporting those struggling with substance use disorder. Additionally, Todd sheds light on the challenges within the recovery housing industry and the efforts of the South Carolina Recovery Housing Association to advocate for better practices and training, including the use of naloxone. Throughout the episode, Todd underscores the importance of local initiatives and personal stories in driving meaningful change.
His message is clear: healing starts with community. Tune in to hear more about how collective action can break down barriers and foster a supportive environment for recovery.
