I still live with that and I still do that work every day to know that, like, I deserve good and I can help someone deserve that. And now I know how to face it and it's really amazing because I never thought I was deserving of it.
Imagine getting drunk at just five years old. That’s how Lial Gingell’s story begins, and it only gets more intense from there. By eight, he was already in trouble with the law, and by eleven, he had attempted suicide. In this gripping episode of Odyssey House Journals, Lial opens up about his tumultuous journey through addiction and his inspiring path to recovery.
Now four years sober and working at Odyssey House, Lial's story is a testament to the power of resilience and self-love. He talks candidly about how his early traumas fueled his substance abuse and the critical role that mental health education in schools could play in preventing similar struggles for others. Lial’s experiences highlight the importance of support systems in recovery and the effectiveness of treatment programs.
He shares, 'I still live with that and I still do that work every day to know that, like, I deserve good and I can help someone deserve that.' His narrative is not just about overcoming addiction but also about learning to love oneself and finding hope in the darkest of times. If you're dealing with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a powerful reminder that recovery is possible.
Tune in to hear Lial’s incredible journey and get inspired by his strength and positivity.
