Addiction & Recovery: The Journey Forward
Episode 27 is LIVE!
Meet Matt Bair. If you're from Indianapolis and tune into the radio, you've probably heard him. His voice is not just unique; it's warm and familiar, making it easy for listeners all over the city to recognize. We've both been in the broadcasting scene here in Indianapolis for quite a while, and we really got to know each other when I was working on the morning show at WISH-TV back in 2023. Those early mornings full of news and traffic updates were when we started swapping notes and sharing important info about traffic, which was super helpful, plus it was nice to know someone else was sleep deprived ha! Matt played a big role in helping me find my footing in the TV world again, offering advice and support that made things a lot easier. As I spent more time with him, I learned about his amazing journey to sobriety, and I really admired how open and honest he is about his life experiences.
This honesty is not just refreshing; it's crucial in a world where many people struggle quietly. His coworkers at WIBC, along with his family and friends, have been a solid support system throughout his recovery, and he really appreciates their constant encouragement and love. In this episode, we dive into topics like drug and alcohol abuse, sharing Matt's personal story and the progress he's made in his recovery. He's turned his experiences into a powerful story that not only talks about his struggles but also shows his dedication to helping others in similar situations. I also shared my own past experiences with drug use, which not many people know about. Our goal in this chat is to reach out to those who might feel alone in their battles with addiction, to remind them they're not alone, and to inspire hope by showing that recovery is possible. We encourage you to listen and share this episode with others who might need it. Below, I've also listed some great resources for anyone looking for help and support in their recovery journey.
