Love the Truth in this series

[admin-75434 · 10/10 · 29 February 2024]

Most people don't realize just how hard it is to share your recovery story, let alone attach your real name to it, and have it recorded for the whole world to see. Listening on Roku as each episode shared a new story of hope and recovery was truly inspirational. It's so easy to see a TV star or music star these days and it's obvious how they are role models to kids and young adults, yet they openly share their experience of substance use. To see people share how they overcame their substance use and mental illness really makes me wonder why so many people look down on people in the recovery community.

I could not recommend watching this series strongly enough. These are the people I want my children to look up to. They really are Reducing the Stigma!

Full Disclosure, I'm a Little Biased

(Disclosure: I am involved with the production of this channel) Regardless of being involved in this channel or not, I truly believe anyone in recovery, thinking about recovery, or has a friend or loved one in recovery will love watching this show. As a person also in long term recovery, I know how difficult it is to share your story, let along share it publicly with your face and name attached to it for the world to see and hear. This bravery is inspirational and the peer specialists that step up and share to help reduce the stigma around substance use and mental health should definitely be praised.

I hope by posting this review at least one person is encouraged to check it out and see that recovery really is possible and there are people who have been there that can and will help you navigate the journey of recovery, without judgement, no matter what stage you are at.
