Addiction2Recovery
We will evaluate, discuss and educate on all types of addiction topics. However, we will highlight the nuanced differences between the medical field (Dr. Heather- Addiction Physician) and those with the disease of addiction (Josh- Certified Peer Recovery Support Specialist). Episodes will not only bring you the specifics of addiction including the neurobiology of addiction and how that translates into the 'real world' but they will also bring you interviews from individuals in early or long-term recovery, therapists, family members, friends, clergy, treatment providers and so much more! We would love to hear from you, whether you have a question, suggestion, recommendation, request or even if you'd like to be a guest on the show!

53. Brian Part 4- Thriving in Recovery and Lakes Area Restorative Justice
"There is no growth in the comfort zone and no comfort in the growth zone." We start this episode with Brian getting his "bad and good" news and then have the honor to hear how his recovery journey continues. From finding humility to listening to where he was called to be, Brian has not only 'survived' the disease of addiction, but he has thrived in his actualization of how his experiences are able to inform and make sustainable changes to impact and help so many others. He states, "it's about giving others time, talent and treasure" and "believing in ourselves and believing we have something to offer." Finally, "All the experiences, good, bad and indifferent, have allowed me to become who I am today." He now is the Executive Director of Lakes Area Restorative Justice Program, helping and supporting youth as what became his passion! www.larjp.org
