I guess at the beginning of the journey it was like I saw the world as darkness. And my thinking is like: why can't the whole world see it the way that that statement says it? It was, if you were born into a world that you don't fit into, it's because you're here to help create a new one, a better one.
Imagine moving to a new country as a child, feeling out of place, and grappling with the weight of addiction. That's the story of a young man who opens up about his journey on this episode of 'Addiction to Freedom'. Host Michael Gregory dives into an eye-opening conversation with this intelligent young man who recounts his family's immigration from India to the United States.
This major life change set off a chain of events that led him down a path of addiction, starting innocently with reading and escalating to drugs and alcohol. He candidly discusses how these substances became his escape from a world where he felt he didn't belong. But the story doesn't end there. The young man realized that his biggest battle was with himself.
He embarked on a profound journey of self-discovery, digging deep to understand the roots of his addiction and the emotions fueling it. Through this process, he found not just recovery, but a renewed sense of purpose. He shares how addiction impacted his relationships and his ability to connect with others, and how overcoming these challenges has given him the strength to envision and work towards creating a better world.
This episode is a testament to the power of self-awareness and resilience, offering listeners a powerful call-to-action to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery and find their 'why'.
