I’m Ryan Hampton, Co-Founder of Mobilize Recovery. I’ve been living in recovery from a decade-long opioid addiction for 11 years. On September 1st, I'm hosting an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Reddit.

If you're new to Reddit, AMAs are informal Q&A sessions—it’s a place where anyone can connect 1:1 with AMA hosts by submitting questions on dedicated posts or “threads”.

My experience battling addiction shaped who I am, but it also showed me how much needs to change. Today, I work alongside the recovery community to expand access to support, challenge stigma, and help build a future where recovery is understood, respected, and possible for everyone.

On September 1st, I’ll be answering your questions about:

• Addiction and the realities of recovery
• Finding treatment and resources for support
• Stigma and outdated attitudes around treatment
• Supporting a loved one through recovery
• The recovery movement today, 50 years after Operation Understanding
• Turning lived experience into meaningful action

Whether you are in recovery, considering treatment, supporting someone you care about, or simply hoping to learn more, your questions are welcome. Please remember that I cannot provide individual medical advice, and my experience may be different from yours. When I can, I’ll share resources that could help. Ask me anything. 

Sign up on this page to get reminders about the AMA starting September 1st.
