I have work to do and I'm willing to do it because it's worth it and I'm worth it.
Ever wondered how someone can overcome the darkest parts of their past? In this episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast, Nate Postlethwait opens up about his journey from a troubled childhood to recovery. Growing up in a deeply religious rural southern town, Nate faced a family history of sexual dysfunction and endured multiple abusive encounters.
It wasn't until his early twenties that he recognized his compulsions as part of a larger problem—one that put him in physical danger and left him feeling immense shame. Seeking help within his faith community only added to his feelings of moral failing, as they couldn't address the biological roots of his trauma or addiction.
It was only when Nate entered a treatment center that he began to make real progress, covering more ground in one week than he had in years of religious counseling. His story is a testament to the importance of finding the right therapist and treatment, and the power of vulnerability and honesty in recovery. Nate also shares how embarking on a personal journey of self-discovery helped him find new hobbies and build a fulfilling life.
This episode offers valuable insights into the role of trauma in addiction and the importance of addressing it with professional help. Tune in to hear Nate's inspiring story and gain hope for your own recovery journey.
