BRENTWOOD, Tenn., July 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Far From
Finished, the weekly podcast series launched by American Addiction
Centers in 2016, has reached a significant milestone – 50 episodes
and nearly 100,000 downloads. People tuning in from as far away as
Thailand and Luxembourg, in over 60 countries, now hear the
podcast.
Far From Finished features the personal stories of those who've
struggled with the disease of addiction and follows their
subsequent journeys to recovery.
"People genuinely want to learn more about addiction and hear
the words of those who experienced it rather than reading
statistics and data," said AAC digital media manager Makaila Brooks. "This podcast is important
because it helps others see people in recovery as real people,
removing the stigma often associated with the disease of
addiction."
The 50th episode features Joseph
Green, who was born into an atmosphere of addiction, and
struggled with the disease himself. Green's experience in recovery
has led him to become an ardent advocate for those wanting to share
their stories across platforms and communities, encouraging them to
evoke change, which is part of his mission as the youth program
coordinator for Split This Rock and the co-founder of poetry
N.O.W.
"What affects one of us affects all of us, whether you get to
see it or not," said Green. "It is in everybody's interest to try
and really make some change in this space, so I'm very lucky, very
honored, very motivated to be a part of that movement."
Green's story of recovery is this week's feature on Far From
Finished. New episodes are introduced every Monday and can be found
on iTunes. To learn more about the podcast, visit
