]]> 5532 The Gateway Drug is Trauma | Breaking Quiet In this episode of Breaking Quiet, host Mary Beth Hill speaks with Sandra Smith, PhD, about her journey from incarceration to becoming a leading advocate for recovery and reentry. Sandra shares her unique story of being incarcerated without a history of addiction, the impact of trauma on individuals, and the importance of peer support in the recovery process. They discuss the systemic issues within the prison system, the stigma surrounding formerly incarcerated individuals, and the need for comprehensive support and resources for successful reintegration into society. Sandra's work with One World Recovery highlights the significance of lived experience in creating effective recovery programs and fostering hope for those in need. Sandra's journey from Alabama to Texas was shaped by her career choices. Incarceration can happen to anyone, regardless of their background. Trauma is often the root cause of substance use issues. Peer support is crucial for recovery and reintegration. The prison system is not designed for rehabilitation. Stigmas attached to incarceration hinder recovery efforts. There is hope and healing for those who seek it. Education and support can reduce recidivism rates. Lived experience is invaluable in recovery advocacy. Creating safe spaces for conversation is essential for healing.
