Treatment saved my life, so I'm going to talk a lot about that.
When life throws you into the depths of addiction, finding a way out can seem impossible. Behavioral Healthcare Executive Kyle Infante knows this all too well. In this gripping episode of 'Let The Journey Begin', hosts Hilary Roberts and Jason Wahler sit down with Kyle to uncover his journey from substance abuse to recovery. It all started with a traumatic middle school experience that led to a prescription for painkillers.
What began as medication soon spiraled into a full-blown addiction, encompassing heroin, methamphetamine, prescription drugs, sex, and even an eating disorder. Kyle's life took a dark turn, leading him to steal thousands from his parents and lose friends who couldn't stand by him any longer. His body was wasting away, and he reached a point where he could no longer justify his actions. That's when he decided to get brutally honest with himself.
This honesty marked the beginning of his path to sobriety. Kyle shares how getting sober from substances didn't end his struggles; it merely shifted them. He discusses how his substance abuse morphed into sex addiction and an eating disorder, highlighting the interconnected nature of these issues. Enabling, he notes, can be both a blessing and a curse, but it ultimately played a role in his recovery.
Today, Kyle not only maintains his sobriety but also helps others navigate their own battles with addiction. He emphasizes the importance of community and hope in the recovery process and shares his insights on supporting older adults struggling with addiction during the pandemic. Tune in to hear Kyle's powerful story and find out how honesty and gratitude can pave the way to a brighter future.
