If you continue to use a behavior of a substance in spite of adverse consequences, you better take a look at what's going on.
Ever wondered how someone can turn a life marred by trauma into a mission of healing? In this episode of Now Sober Podcasts, Vince and Jeanna chat with John Giordano, a man who has transformed his painful past into a beacon of hope for many. John’s journey began in the South Bronx, where he faced the horrors of childhood molestation and the chaos of growing up with a heroin-dealing parent.
His story is not just about survival but about thriving and helping others do the same. As the founder of G & G Holistic Addiction Treatment in Florida, John brings a wealth of experience and insight into the complex world of addiction recovery. He opens up about his battles with guilt and shame, and how these feelings fueled his own struggles with addiction. But John's story doesn’t end there.
He shares the pivotal moments that led him to seek out the 'missing element' in recovery, emphasizing the crucial roles of nutrition and hormone therapy. John also touches on the controversial yet increasingly accepted use of plant medicine in addiction treatment. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the intricate links between trauma and addiction, and how holistic approaches can offer new avenues for healing.
Whether you’re struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, John’s story offers valuable insights and hope.
