I learn at the speed of pain. Death is one cure for addiction. Treatment is another option.
Imagine growing up with both a hero and a villain in your life. That's how Vinsent Franke describes his childhood, a mix of admiration and fear that set the stage for his later struggles with addiction and mental illness. On this episode of the Illuminate Recovery Podcast, Vinsent, now co-owner of West Valley Detox Treatment, opens up about his journey to sobriety, which he describes as being 'struck sober'. Vinsent doesn't shy away from discussing the depths of his past.
He shares his experiences with different levels of insanity and how they affected his life. His story is raw and real, touching on the dark moments that many can relate to but few speak about openly. He also dives into the complex relationship between psychopathy and spirituality, shedding light on how these aspects influenced his recovery.
One of the most compelling parts of Vinsent's story is his belief in the 'still small voice'—that inner guide that helped him navigate through the chaos. He emphasizes the importance of treatment as a viable option for overcoming addiction, contrasting it with the grim alternative of death. Vinsent's narrative is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, even when it feels out of reach. For anyone grappling with similar challenges, Vinsent's journey offers a beacon of hope.
His openness about his struggles and triumphs serves as an inspiration for those who might feel alone in their battles. Tune in to hear how Vinsent transformed his life and found sobriety, and gain insights into the power of treatment and personal growth.
