There was somebody really beautiful that I could love inside me.
Picture growing up surrounded by addiction, and then turning that experience into a mission to help others. That's the story of Casey Arrillaga, a clinical social worker and chemical dependency counselor, who joins Brett Morris on this episode of 'Recovery Survey'. Casey shares his personal journey with addiction, both as an individual and within his family, and how these experiences shaped his career.
His book, 'Realistic Hope: The Family Survival Guide for Facing Alcoholism and Other Addictions', offers practical advice for families navigating the challenges of addiction. Casey emphasizes the role of family support in recovery, but also stresses that it's not the family's job to 'fix' their loved one. Instead, seeking help from specialists is crucial. In addition to his work with addiction, Casey dives into his struggles with spirituality.
His newest book, 'Spirituality for People Who Hate Spirituality', aims to help those who find it hard to connect with a higher power. He offers practical tools and personal stories to make spirituality more accessible, even for skeptics. Casey's approach is grounded in science and personal experience, making his insights relatable and practical. This episode is packed with heartfelt stories and actionable advice, making it a must-listen for anyone dealing with addiction in their family or struggling with spirituality.
Casey's candid discussion helps break the stigma around addiction and mental health, offering hope and guidance for those in need.
