That's why we have to continuously be working on ourselves. Oh, totally, throughout all of this process, no matter how much sobriety we have, because we're constantly facing life is difficult, no matter where you are.
Ever felt like you've hit rock bottom and wondered if there's a way up? In this episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', host Duane Osterlind chats with Gregg Champion, co-founder of START UP RECOVERY, about his own journey from the depths of addiction to a thriving life in recovery. Gregg shares his raw and real story, offering a beacon of hope for anyone feeling stuck in the darkness of addiction.
He talks about the moment he realized he needed to change and how he found the strength to climb out of his lowest point. Gregg’s approach is refreshingly honest, combining old-school AA methods with modern practices like breath work and sound baths. He emphasizes the importance of community, accountability, education, and love—four cornerstones that have guided him and others at START UP RECOVERY. One of the most compelling parts of the conversation is Gregg's discussion on emotion regulation.
He believes that understanding and managing emotions is crucial for long-term sobriety. Gregg also highlights tools like Soberlink, which help rebuild trust with loved ones and maintain accountability. His insights into unpacking the 'backpack of shame' and finding spiritual grounding offer practical advice for anyone on their recovery journey. This episode is not just about hitting rock bottom; it's about realizing that even at your lowest, there's a way forward.
Gregg's story is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of recovery. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and inspiration.
