Recovery is not just about getting sober, it's about addressing the underlying issues and traumas that led you to addiction in the first place.
What happens when childhood trauma meets the harsh realities of addiction? Rudy Padrol, founder of Rudy’s Christmas Trees, knows this story all too well. In this episode of 'Let The Journey Begin', Jason and Alex sit down with Rudy to discuss his tumultuous journey from a painful past to a hopeful present. Rudy opens up about the physical and sexual abuse he endured as a child, coupled with the instability of having a father in and out of jail.
By the age of 16, Rudy had run away from home, seeking solace in Miami. But instead of finding peace, he found himself turning to drugs and alcohol for the first time as a way to cope with his deep-seated pain. Rudy's story isn't just about addiction; it's about the underlying issues that often lead to substance abuse. He candidly shares how therapy helped him understand that his drinking and drug use were merely attempts to mask his childhood trauma.
Through vulnerability and humility, Rudy emphasizes the importance of addressing these root causes for true recovery. Rudy’s journey took a positive turn after multiple attempts at treatment, with the third time finally sticking. Now, he's not only sober but also committed to helping others through his business, Rudy's Christmas Trees. A portion of the profits from his business goes towards supporting addiction recovery programs.
Rudy's mission is clear: to create a safe space for others to heal and grow, just as he has. If you're looking for a story of resilience and hope, this episode offers a powerful reminder that even the darkest times can lead to a brighter future.
