John Loxley: From Rock Bottom to Recovery Advocate
That decision, going to that first meeting, changed my life forever.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after hitting rock bottom? Meet John Loxley, also known as Ren Koi, a certified life coach, author, and host of the 'Life in Recovery' podcast. In this episode of 'The Now What Society', John shares his incredible journey from a decade-long struggle with alcohol and drug abuse to becoming a beacon of hope for others in recovery.
His transformation began in 2010, and by 2013, he was already gaining qualifications in counseling, psychotherapy, and meditation tuition. John didn't stop there; he started writing books on addiction, mental health, and spirituality, all under his pseudonym Ren Koi—where 'Ren' means love in Japanese and 'Koi' symbolizes courage and perseverance in adversity. Now, with five self-published books and a sixth one on the way, John has made it his mission to help others find their path to recovery.
He talks about the importance of spirituality, emotional intelligence, and the role of sponsorship and service in his own healing process. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, John's story offers valuable insights and inspiration. Don't miss this compelling conversation that highlights the transformative power of perseverance and recovery programs.
