When you're done, and you're willing to go to any length it can be done.
Imagine starting with a legitimate need for pain relief, only to find yourself battling addiction. That's the reality Josh McBride faced. Diagnosed with Crohn's Disease at a young age, Josh's journey took a dramatic turn when his pain management led him down a dark path. In this episode of 'Real Recovery Talk', hosted by Tom Conrad and Ben, Josh opens up about his struggle and ultimate triumph over addiction.
He shares how he went from using prescribed pain meds to relying on street drugs, culminating in a 75-day stint in jail without any medication. But Josh's story doesn't end there. With limited resources, he turned to county and free services for help. His determination and shift in mindset were crucial in his recovery. Josh also sheds light on the rampant OxyContin abuse in Florida, where he once resorted to doctor shopping and visiting pill mills.
Despite these challenges, his faith and spirituality played a pivotal role in his sobriety. Josh's experience underscores the power of community support and the importance of accessible resources in recovery. His journey is a powerful reminder that with willingness and hard work, recovery is within reach. Tune in to hear Josh's candid and inspirational story.
