Brian's Turnaround: Embracing Change and Finding Hope
If someone can listen and not do all the things that I did or that we've done, then maybe we could save a life.
Brian's story is a testament to the power of transformation. After a severe relapse landed him in the emergency room, Brian found his way to a 12-step program that changed his life. In this episode, he opens up about the struggles he faced, from infidelity to relying on external things to fill the voids in his life. But it wasn't until he found a sponsor and truly committed to the 12-step process that things began to shift.
Brian talks candidly about the importance of making the choice to change and how understanding a higher power played a crucial role in his recovery. He also delves into the concept of maladaptive behaviors and how hardwired connections in our brains can make change seem impossible. Through what he calls a 'psychic change', Brian was able to see life through a new lens, adopting a fresh perspective and attitude.
