Rustie Wayne-Jones: From Meth Addiction to Therapy Advocate

I respect her, because she's gone through the same thing, whereas if you had some guy, even with a phd, who had never gone through any of that and said: well, according to what I read, this is the way it's supposed to. And that was a huge piece for me, which I know isn't the fact. For a lot of people it's kind of counterintuitive, because most people want to have tips from someone who's been over the line.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn a life of addiction into one of healing and giving back? In this episode of Odyssey House Journals, TV news legend Randall Carlisle sits down with Rustie Wayne-Jones, who has walked that exact path. Once gripped by meth addiction, Rustie now works as a therapist at Utah's largest addiction treatment center, Odyssey House.
Her story is a testament to the power of shared experiences in therapy and the incredible resilience of the human spirit. Rustie opens up about her journey through addiction and the pivotal moments that led her to recovery. She also sheds light on the unique challenges of parenting while battling substance abuse, offering a raw and honest perspective that many will find relatable.
But Rustie's story doesn't end with her own recovery; she has dedicated her life to helping others find their way out of the darkness. In this candid conversation, Rustie discusses the importance of having therapists who truly understand what their clients are going through because they've been there themselves. She highlights various recovery programs available in Utah, emphasizing that help is out there for anyone willing to seek it.
This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery is not only possible but also a journey worth taking, especially when guided by those who have walked the path before. Whether you're struggling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in the transformative power of recovery, Rustie's story offers hope and practical insights. Tune in for an episode filled with empathy, resilience, and the unwavering belief that change is always within reach.
