Addiction Support Pillars: The Famous Five That Make Recovery PossibleWant to make recovery last? In this episode of "Substance Stories," I join Dr. Ferghal Armstrong to share the "Famous Five." These are the key players for addiction support—helping you start, stay, and grow in recovery. It’s a team effort, not a solo job.

Your GP tracks your mental health. An addiction specialist steers you through rough patches. A psychologist explores your thoughts, while an accountability partner nudges you toward smart choices.

A sponsor—backed by family support—keeps you strong in the 12-step program. Real recovery stories prove it works.
