When I started giving back, my life exploded. And I mean it still just gets hotter Every Single Day.
Ever wondered how someone can turn a life of addiction and incarceration into one of hope and purpose? In this episode of 'A2D - From Addict to Disciple', David Hain sits down with Stacy Dodd, who shares his compelling journey from the depths of addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for others.
Growing up in the South, Stacy began experimenting with drugs and alcohol at a young age, leading him down a dark path that eventually landed him in prison. But it was behind bars that he found faith and a renewed sense of purpose. Stacy's candid recounting of his struggles, including broken relationships and deep-seated shame, paints a vivid picture of the challenges many face in the throes of addiction. Yet, his story doesn't end there.
Through Celebrate Recovery, a step study group, Stacy discovered the tools and support necessary to embark on his recovery journey. His book, 'Backpack to the Burbs', captures this transformative period, from riding around on a stolen bicycle with just a backpack to finding new hope and second chances. Now an executive with Celebrate Recovery and Vertava Health, Stacy's life is a testament to the power of giving back.
He shares how helping others through recovery programs not only transformed his life but also brought him immense joy and fulfillment. Stacy's story is a powerful reminder that no matter how deep the struggle, there's always a way out, especially when we reach out for help and extend a hand to others in need. Tune in to hear Stacy's inspiring journey and learn how humility, faith, and community support can pave the way for lasting recovery.
