What is the Purpose of this Podcast?

"Retrieving Sanity Podcast" began as an idea while the author was in "The Men of Nehemiah" program for substance abuse. Addiction and Mental Health Issues have been widespread for many years, and during that time, many misconceptions have been born. This makes life difficult for those that suffer, especially when one is trying to better their lives after years of neglect. The stigma is widely due to a lack of understanding and can set someone to failure before being given a fair chance.

The "Retrieving Sanity Podcast" aims to help dispel those misconceptions and to bring about an awareness and understanding of addiction and mental health issues. Many have lost their voice and are left to suffer alone, fighting demons that no one truly knows about. This podcast aims to help console those that suffer, and to give hope that there is a bright future ahead. To be a voice and a light when all is dark and quiet, is to help heal those wounds while finding a community of like-minded individuals.

For this reason, "Retrieving Sanity Podcast", will strive to help those that are misunderstood and have the cards stacked against them. Through personal stories and experiences, through the hardships we have faced, we survived to help those that may veer down a dark path.
