Recovery is a journey, and it requires a lot of hard work and dedication. But it's worth it. It's worth it to be able to look at yourself in the mirror and say, I'm proud of who I am today.
Imagine having the world at your feet, only to see it crumble because of addiction. That's the heart-wrenching story of Bill Denehy, a former pitcher for the New York Mets. In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', Denehy opens up about his journey from the highs of professional baseball to the depths of addiction and anger.
After a shoulder injury in 1967, painkillers became his constant companion, leading him down a dark path that affected his career and personal life. He shares candid memories of how his addiction strained his marriage and relationship with his daughters, painting a vivid picture of the chaos that substance abuse can bring. But it's not all gloom; Denehy's story is also one of resilience and redemption.
He discusses what it took for him to finally seek help and how he managed to rebuild his life. His experiences highlight the importance of asking for help and the power of forgiveness, both towards oneself and others. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complexities of addiction and the hope that recovery can bring.
