This episode of The Addiction Connection Podcast dives into the transformative journey of Jim Quigley, a co-host who shares his gripping testimony. September marks National Recovery Month, but for the hosts, it's National Transformation Month, highlighting the power of faith in overcoming addiction. Jim recounts his struggle with substance abuse, starting at the age of 13 and escalating to IV drug use by 24.
Despite being raised in a Christian environment, he found himself trapped in a cycle of addiction and relapse, even after experiencing periods of sobriety through 12-step programmes and Bible college. His story takes a harrowing turn as he hits rock bottom, including an overdose in his pastor's home, before finding solace and true transformation at Freedom Farm Ministries. Jim's narrative underscores the belief that recovery is not just about abstaining from substances but about a daily reliance on faith.
He now serves as the director of Freedom Farm Ministries and continues to share his journey to inspire others. The episode is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible with faith, support, and perseverance. If you're seeking a story of hope and transformation, this episode is a must-listen.
