In this rendition of The Way Out I am beyond excited to bring you a highly entertaining and enlightening interview I had with person in long term recovery, author, speaker, educator, and all-around sobriety and mental health advocate Daniel Patterson. Daniel shares his journey to and through recovery to this point with an unmistakable candor along with a refreshing dose of levity that helps to underscore the overarching Recovery truths that are embodied within Daniel’s recovery story and message which are in large part that Recovery is an individual journey, all pathways to recovery matter, and we recover the best when we recover together. Our recovery journey is as unique as we are and if it works for us it’s valid and worth sharing with others as much and as often as we feel comfortable doing so, as your particular brand of recovery might just work for some other folks too. There are indeed also universal recovery and spiritual truths like self-honesty, asking for help, and helping others that unite all pathways to recovery, just like we as humans are very much connected by universal experiences like pain, joy, grief and love. Daniel’s Recovery journey has led him to do amazing things in the Recovery and Mental Health space, like building sober high schools across the country, speaking at schools, being a Recovery Tik Tok sensation, and now hosting the Sobriety Uncensored Podcast which is an endeavor near and dear to our hearts here at The Way Out Podcast Our Uncensored interview with Daniel and all of the spiritual and recovery truth embodied within is about to unfold before your very ears so listen up.
