Recovery does not always follow a straight path, but relapse, addiction, grief, or past mistakes do not have to become the final chapter. For Recovery Month, Rich Bennett revisits the people and lessons behind the Pot-a-thon for Recovery, a 12-day series of honest conversations about substance use, overdose loss, treatment, motherhood, accountability, and hope.

In this solo episode of Conversations with Rich Bennett, Rich reflects on stories shared by people in recovery, grieving families, peer specialists, counselors, advocates, and leaders from Rage Against Addiction. Their experiences show that addiction can enter any family and that meaningful recovery often requires safety, structure, medical care, accountability, and human connection.

You will hear about:

•  Why silence and shame prevent people from seeking help 
•  How sober living homes provide more than a place to sleep 
•  Why relapse does not make future recovery impossible 
•  How compassion and accountability can work together 
•  What families, employers, and communities can do to help
