The opposite of addiction is connection, and because of your willingness and your vulnerability, you were able to reconnect to your god, your savior, your family, yourself and all the others around you, and that to me, has been such a gift.
Imagine weighing just 95 pounds and feeling like life has slipped away. That was Danny Deaton's reality on May 1st, 2007. Fast forward 15 years, and his story couldn't be more different. In this episode of 'Your Living Proof Podcast', Danny and his wife EJ take us on a heartfelt journey through the highs and lows of addiction and the incredible power of connection that helped him recover. Danny’s struggle with addiction started young, despite a loving family background.
He managed to function for a while, but eventually, the addiction took over, leading him to lose honesty with himself and those around him. It wasn't until he hit rock bottom—found lifeless and later incarcerated—that he realized the need for change. The turning point came when his family visited him in jail. It was a humbling moment that made Danny understand the importance of being willing to do the hard work of recovery.
With a structured plan and unwavering determination, he began his journey towards sobriety. Now, 15 years later, Danny and EJ celebrate not just his sobriety but the deep connections that made it possible. They emphasize that the opposite of addiction isn't just sobriety—it's connection. Reconnecting with family, faith, and self through vulnerability and support was crucial for Danny's recovery. This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions—expect to laugh, cry, and feel inspired.
Danny and EJ’s story serves as a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction. They show that recovery is possible with the right support system and a willingness to face the tough times head-on. If you or someone you know is battling addiction, this episode offers invaluable insights and encouragement. Tune in to hear Danny and EJ's transformative journey firsthand. It’s a testament to resilience, love, and the power of human connection.
