Landmark Recovery, an evidence-based addiction treatment organization based in Franklin, has launched a new video series on YouTube called “Humans of Recovery,” which shares the real-life stories of people who have overcome drug or alcohol addiction.
The short-form videos put a face to recovery from addiction while exploring the broad spectrum of substance use disorders. Each episode illustrates what is possible in recovery and what it took to get there.
“The stigma surrounding people with an addiction can cause us to view them as weak, unfit or a drain on society,” said Ryan Decker, brand manager of Landmark Recovery. “Humans of Recovery” shows the strength it takes to seek treatment, and how their lives improved once they sought help.
The pilot episode of “Humans of Recovery,” which can now be viewed at LandmarkRecovery.com or on YouTube, focuses on Stacey Meredith, who started using drugs and alcohol in her teens. Meredith has been in recovery for seven years.
“The one thing that I appreciate most in this journey is waking up with a clear mind,” Meredith said. “It’s waking up not feeling like you have no idea what happened the night before, or the anxiety or depression that comes with that hangover or drinking and binge drinking for days. It’s waking up and feeling clear . . . clear mind, clear hear and like every day’s a chance to have a new beginning. And that’s my favorite part about living a life of sobriety.”
“Humans of Recovery” is the second video series launched by Landmark this year, the first being“ Sober Facts” which premiered January of 2022. Both series are part of Landmark’s commitment to powerful storytelling that educates communities on and reduces the stigma of substance use disorder.
