01 | Greg & Stacey Oliver: What WE Really Want, part 1

Greg & Stacey Oliver (Co-Founders) and Bobby West (Assistant Director) of Awaken kick off this brand new podcast by sharing what WE really want listeners to experience. If the saying is true – “The opposite of addiction is not sobriety…the opposite of addiction is connection” – then recovery is more than just a focus on stopping or changing behavior. It’s about discovering the deeper desires we all carry for deep and authentic connection. Awaken is a recovery community that helps people live the lives they were created to live, free from addiction and the damage it causes. Part of the way we support people in recovery is by inviting them to find out what they’ve really wanted all along.

In this first episode, Greg & Stacey share their stories of how they came into recovery, and how people who struggle with unwanted sexual behavior or sexual betrayal trauma can connect with our community.
