I met a lady recently who would have any man reaching to straighten his tie, sucking his gut and puffing out his chest. Little did I know I had met ‘Dangerous Deb’. I know I am going to get a big eyeroll for that comment, oh well. She uses radio to reach out and help people in addiction recovery.
Among a number of commonalities, we spoke a bit about how I use this blog and she uses radio to reach out to help those in addiction recovery and the odd knowledge of not even meeting those that might get benefit from outreach efforts. What a concept…doing the next right thing because it is the right thing to do. A far cry from the days of using.
There is a link in the Resource section to Recovery Radio Live The shows are simulcast on the web.
Their site is a work in process: please note their archived recordings of recent shows.
Gleaned from the site: Creator/host Ricky Leigh Mensh is a highly active and respected member of a major 12-Step program and sober for eighteen years. Mr. Mensh has also had a distinguished 25-year career in the music industry, which includes many years as an on-air host and programmer in commercial radio. “Recovery Radio Live” will appeal to families and friends of those in need of help, along with the enormous numbers of those already in recovery. This also includes a large number of highly regarded rehab centers serving as safe havens for those seeking to begin the process of recovery.
Our radio show airs Saturday’s on 850 AM WFTL 2PM-4PM EST. We broadcast live in the South Florida area and will be webcast live with a link on our home page to listen, and you can call in live @ 1-888-sober56. We’re trying to bring focus, support, and a common meeting place for the recovery community, people in recovery, their families, and anyone else who is themselves or is close to someone with substance abuse problems and/or addictions. Mr. Mensh will be joined in this broadcast venture by co-hosts “Indian Bob” & “Dangerous” Debbie S.
