I realized right then that my higher power had given me the grace of awakening my conscience and so I realized that this could work.
Picture this: a teenager battling alcoholism and finding his way through the maze of recovery. That's the story of Joe Klema, a certified intervention professional, who joins Pawley and Michele on this episode of Recovery Cast. Joe opens up about his personal struggles with addiction, starting from his teenage years, and how those experiences led him to become an interventionist. You'll hear about his time in inpatient treatment and how it shaped his path to sobriety during his college years.
Joe doesn't shy away from discussing the critical role of family support and faith in his recovery journey. He emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and having a united front when it comes to interventions. One of the highlights is Joe's take on the value of having cool, supportive adults around during recovery. And just for a bit of fun, they wrap up with a chat about why Joe decided to keep his signature gray hair stripe.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intricacies of addiction and the power of intervention.
