Cade Saurage's Fork in the Road: A Candid Tale of Addiction and Redemption
I remember telling my therapist at the time, Lori Rodriguez, awesome lady, and she was like I was like lori. Well, we want you to go to a halfway house and I was like, oh hell, no, like, no, I don't think I want to do that. And so yeah, I mean I was just full of it.
Ever wondered how someone can rise from the depths of addiction to become a beacon of hope for others? In this episode of 'Let The Journey Begin', Hilary Roberts and Jaana Woodbury sit down with Cade Saurage, CEO of Ocean Recovery, for a raw and riveting conversation about his tumultuous journey. Growing up in a world where alcohol was ever-present, Cade found himself entangled in the allure of drinking and later, cocaine.
What started as high school fun quickly spiraled into a college habit, and before he knew it, Cade was juggling a party lifestyle with the responsibilities of adulthood. But life had a harsh lesson in store for him. The passing of his mother due to cancer sent Cade into a tailspin, leading to more drinking, jail time, and a series of personal lows.
He shares the poignant moment when his father asked him, 'If you can't stay sober for yourself, why can't you stay sober for your kids?' This question became a turning point in his life. Cade's story is a testament to the power of resilience, the importance of support systems, and the transformative role of therapy and spirituality. Tune in to hear how he found his way out of the darkness and now helps others do the same.
