Understandably, some people in recovery are reluctant to go public. But when someone does put a face and a voice on recovery with his or her personal story, the general public can finally access the powerful message of hope that has resonated for years in underground recovery communities.
While much has been written, researched, and developed about this new recovery movement, to date nothing has broken through into mass media markets to make a wider audience aware of the movement’s importance. There is a great need to educate, motivate, and engage those in and out of recovery about public advocacy and peer-based recovery support. Broader knowledge and understanding of these issues have the potential to change the way drug and alcohol problems are solved in our communities.
