I didn't need to hear, I didn't need any of that dialogue, because all I had was internal, and I didn't realize how damaging that would be until the drugs stopped working.
In this episode of 'Let The Journey Begin', Jason Wahler and Alex, standing in for Hilary Roberts, sit down with Satch Selden, the Director of Business Development & Admissions for Dream Recovery in Costa Mesa, CA. Satch’s story is a powerful reminder that addiction can touch anyone, regardless of their background. Growing up in a wealthy household with Ivy League-educated parents, Satch seemed to have it all.
Yet, at just 18, he fell into the grip of opiates after being prescribed painkillers for wisdom teeth removal. What started as medication quickly spiraled into an addiction to harder substances, including heroin. Satch candidly shares how the pressures of living up to his parents' success drove him towards drugs as a means to escape the overwhelming expectations.
He opens up about the false sense of relief and freedom he found in substances and how it all came crashing down when the drugs stopped working. His journey from addiction to recovery is filled with raw honesty and crucial insights. He emphasizes the importance of support systems and genuine friendships in his path to sobriety. This episode is not just a tale of struggle but also one of hope and resilience.
If you or someone you care about is battling addiction, Satch’s story might be the beacon of hope needed to take that first step towards recovery.
