Drug addiction Recovery & Advocacy: 2 years later

<p>Two years ago at the height of the pandemic I interviewed recovery advocate Tim Ryan best know from the A&amp;E Network series "Dope Man" in 2017. &nbsp;We discussed the issues people in recovery faced of not liking attending 12 step meetings on zoom for example. &nbsp;(You can listen to our episode, Season 1 Episode 5- &nbsp;https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/oAQ2ifbemtb ) &nbsp;</p> <p>What I learned from Tim over 2 years later, not much as changed in terms of what he is seeing. &nbsp;People are continuing to die from drug addiction. &nbsp;&nbsp;#addiction #drugaddiction is one of my passion's related to social work. I write about addiction in the upcoming book "Latinx in Social Work Volume 2" launching October 5th. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Ryan has a book titled From Dope to Hope: A Man in Recovery which is available on Amazon. &nbsp;You can follow him on his website dopetohope.com &nbsp;</p> <p>Check out my poetry book also on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle.
