When Newton Gentry and Sam Alston, founders of the Recovery Awareness Foundation, joined us for a conversation, we were captivated by their compelling addiction journey and inspiring efforts to transform lives. These remarkable individuals opened up about their struggles with addiction and the hurdles they encountered while seeking assistance. Their profound experiences birthed the Recovery Awareness Foundation (R.A.F), an organization committed to bridging the gaps in addiction recovery, dismantling harmful stigma, and nurturing an environment ripe with support and solidarity.
We delved deeper into the phenomenal work of the Recovery Awareness Foundation and its endeavor to provide resources and support and create a culture encouraging individuals to seek help and get the financial support they deserve. They shared their valuable partnership with the Drug-Free All-Stars, an organization promoting drug prevention since 1992, and how they leverage modern tools like social media to amplify awareness and action. Their combined outreach efforts, through organized events and shared resources, empower individuals and communities to break free from the shackles of addiction.
The icing on the cake was our exploration into the transformative power of peer support in the recovery process. Newton and Sam highlighted their upcoming events celebrating National Recovery Month, encouraging our listeners to participate and contribute to their cause. The Recovery Awareness Foundation's work, through its array of activities, scholarships, and innovative resources, is aiding individuals and uplifting entire communities. Tune in for this enlightening episode that underscores the indomitable spirit of those on the path to recovery and the collective efforts contributing to their journey. So DONATE to the good cause! :)
