If I could keep my Last Day using how I felt at the forefront, I'd never use again.
Glenn's story is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, offering a raw look into the reality of addiction and recovery. In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, host Tom Conrad sits down with Glenn, who opens up about his journey from a seemingly perfect upbringing to battling drug addiction and relapsing after five years of sobriety.
Unlike many stories where addiction stems from a troubled background, Glenn's tale begins with a supportive family, a stay-at-home mom, and a dad who was his workout buddy. His life took a turn when the pressures of college wrestling became too much, leading him to abandon the sport he loved. This decision marked the beginning of his struggle with addiction.
Glenn's story is not just about his battle with drugs but also about the toll it took on his relationships, especially with his parents. His journey highlights the importance of education for families of addicts and the crucial role humility plays in supporting someone through recovery. Moving away from his hometown provided Glenn with the structure he needed to focus on his recovery, showing how environment can significantly impact one's path to sobriety.
The episode doesn't shy away from discussing the harsh realities of addiction, including the dangers of alcohol and the importance of remembering the pain that comes with it. Glenn's narrative is both inspiring and sobering, reminding listeners that recovery is a continuous journey filled with setbacks and triumphs. Tune in to hear Glenn's authentic and hopeful story, which serves as a beacon for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting a loved one through it.
