Sit back, get comfortable and hear how Soroush survived, and then flourished after his battle with opioids.
Imagine battling addiction for a decade and emerging not just as a survivor but as a beacon of hope for others. That's the story of Soroush, the first guest on 'Flowers for Zoe - Stories for Dennis'. Soroush's journey through ten years of polysubstance use, including fentanyl, is nothing short of harrowing. He opens up about the depths of his loneliness and isolation, almost losing his life, and hitting rock bottom before finding his way to recovery.
Now, as a peer support worker and Smart Recovery Group Facilitator, Soroush shares his experiences with raw honesty and compassion. He delves into the critical moments that shaped his path to recovery, from understanding the importance of counseling and therapy to overcoming his perfectionist tendencies that often led to relapses. Soroush emphasizes the significance of self-worth and the power of self-talk in managing anxiety.
He also touches on the vital role of loved ones in understanding and supporting his recovery pace. This episode offers a deeply personal and inspiring look at what it takes to survive and thrive after addiction.
