That day I had a yoga instructor come out and they had all these guys out there doing yoga. And I knew that, and I had, because I had heard that you know, and I decided I was going to put a hundred percent into this thing and however quickly the results want to come, that's fine, but I'm going to continue to do what I have to do Every Single Day.
Imagine hitting rock bottom, then finding a way to climb back up only to slip again. That's the essence of Matt Ward's story. Matt, from 'A Life Recovered', joins Adrian on this episode of 'The Addictive Pod' to share his rollercoaster journey through addiction, military discharge, and eventual recovery. Picture this: demoted and discharged from the military for drinking and drug use, facing DUI charges, and even getting caught with intent to sell.
Matt's life was spiraling out of control until a profound spiritual experience in treatment changed everything. But the path to sobriety isn't always straight. After a year of being sober, Matt relapsed. Instead of giving up, he faced his demons head-on. In this candid chat, Matt opens up about the importance of having a mentor, the daily grind of recovery, and how yoga and mindfulness have been game-changers for him.
His story isn't just about falling down; it's about getting back up, time and time again. This episode is perfect for anyone who's struggled with relapse or knows someone who has. It's a raw, honest look at the realities of addiction and the relentless pursuit of a better life.
