In this episode of Logan’s Voice, Doug explores what recovery truly means — beyond just abstaining from substances. Recovery is about restoring health, rebuilding relationships, finding community, and rediscovering purpose. With stigma still holding so many people back, Doug breaks down why compassion and understanding are critical, and how language can either build barriers or open doors. He also highlights practical tools that support recovery — from peer groups and therapy to everyday practices like mindfulness and routine. Whether you’re in recovery yourself, supporting a loved one, or seeking to better understand the process, this conversation is a reminder that recovery is real, and every step forward matters.
