When I was actively using, I was pretty much spiritually dead...until eventually I thought God turned his back on me. I agree with you one thing: I do not want to go back to active addiction.
What happens when addiction takes hold of a young life and refuses to let go? In this episode of 'One Day at a Time: In Recovery in Baltimore', Theo Hill, a seasoned survivor of addiction himself, sits down with Glenn, whose story is nothing short of gripping. At just 15, Glenn fell into the clutches of heroin, leading to decades marked by homelessness and incarceration.
But in 2008, Glenn made a life-altering decision to seek treatment, and he's been clean for over a decade since. Theo and Glenn dive deep into the realities of addiction, the process of unlearning destructive habits, and the ongoing battle against cravings and drug dreams. They also explore the transformative power of service and spirituality in recovery. This episode is more than just a conversation; it's a raw and real look at the struggle and resilience required to overcome addiction.
Whether you're grappling with addiction yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply seeking an authentic story of triumph, Glenn's journey offers hope and insight. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that underscores the importance of never giving up.
