My addiction started from there, because I tell you that based on the fact that I had started drinking, and then, out of that accident, I was prescribed vicodin... And that went on for years until Aiden, my son, was born, and that really let me know where my addiction was, because there was moments in that I was choosing my addiction over my son.
Imagine hitting rock bottom and finding the strength to climb back up. That's exactly what William Walker shares in this episode of 'Let The Journey Begin'. Hosted by Hilary Roberts and Jason Wahler, this conversation is raw and real, diving deep into William's tumultuous journey through addiction and his inspiring path to recovery. William opens up about how his drinking started and escalated after a traumatic car accident.
This event didn't just shake him physically; it ignited his addiction to prescription pills, which eventually led to harder drugs. His story is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, marked by legal troubles and a six-year prison sentence. Adding to his pain, William lost his father to cancer while he was behind bars. But it's not all doom and gloom. William talks about what he believes was divine intervention that sparked his desire to change.
The birth of his son became a pivotal moment, making him realize the extent of his addiction. Through sheer determination and with the support of his family, William began the long road to recovery. This episode isn't just for those battling addiction; it's for anyone who wants to understand the complexities of this struggle. William's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of having a strong support system.
Tune in to hear how he turned his life around and now dedicates himself to helping others do the same.
