I know, man, I was at death's door, brother, you weren't well, brother, you weren't well, and I was on all kinds of medication and drugs and everything.
Ever wondered how a turbulent childhood can shape a person's life? David's story takes you on a journey through the ups and downs of growing up with an alcoholic mother in the 1960s and 70s. By the tender age of 13, David was already dabbling in substances, and his early 20s saw him introduced to the harrowing world of heroin. His life was a cycle of brief clean periods in prison followed by inevitable relapses.
Today, however, David stands strong with over four years of sobriety under his belt, thanks to his time at Broadway Lodge. In this episode of the Miracle Mansion Podcast, David sits down with Markkus, the Head of Treatment and Counselling, to share his raw and honest story. This conversation sheds light on how addiction doesn't just affect the individual but also ripples through families.
David talks about the shame and guilt that haunted him during his active addiction and how the compassionate care he received at Broadway Lodge was pivotal in his recovery. His story underscores the significance of breaking the stigma surrounding addiction, urging those who are struggling to seek help without fear of judgment.
If you're looking for a tale that balances struggle with hope, David's journey offers a candid look at the impact of childhood trauma, the power of compassion, and the importance of a supportive environment in overcoming addiction. It's a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction or looking for a dose of inspiration.
