In today’s episode I talk to Jim Savage.
Jim is a drug and alcohol counsellor who has been working as an expert in his field for over thirty years.
Jim himself is a recovering addict and has been sober since 1988.
In addition to his clinical background, Jim is also a professional musician and producer.
He is dedicated to using music and the creative arts to carry a positive message about recovery.
From rock musicals to musical meditation programs, he uses creative material as teaching tools to aid recovery.
After running his own adolescent treatment program for ten years he wrote a book called Rehab Works! A Parent's Guide To Drug Treatment.
He has gone on to develop an entire educational programme for families and individuals.
In this episode Jim talks about his own personal recovery and how this led him to become a recovery coach and specialist who is now helping others on their journey to overcome addictions. We talk about why people become influenced by substances to the point that it can take over their whole existence and what are the more deeper psychological and spiritual reasons that makes an individual allow their dependancy to lead to the destruction of their life. An open and eye opening talk that goes some way into looking behind the veil of addiction and its affect on the mind, body and spirit.
