I'm a big believer in the steps...I just remember coming home every night and just like stopping on the steps of the church, down the street, from my house and praying like god, just help me, stop, help me.
What happens when a passion for writing collides with the dark world of addiction? In this episode of Recovery Cast, hosts Pawley and Michele sit down with Brian Storm, an author who has lived through this very struggle. Growing up in Philadelphia, Brian discovered his love for writing early on. However, his life took a drastic turn as he spent 15 years entangled in drug addiction, even resorting to selling drugs to support his habit.
Brian's story is one of transformation, faith, and the power of community in recovery. He opens up about how faith and the 12 steps were pivotal in his journey to sobriety. Brian also discusses the unique challenges posed by the pandemic and the importance of open meetings and sponsorships in maintaining connections within the recovery community. As a writer, Brian delves into his creative process and what motivated him to pen 'The Struggle Ten Years Later'.
He doesn't shy away from discussing his relapses and how honesty has been a cornerstone in his recovery. This episode offers a raw, heartfelt conversation that will resonate with anyone touched by addiction or interested in the transformative power of recovery.
