I get to wake up every day and be a substance abuse professional, and I get to wake up every day and be sober and be able to help somebody, because I have the clarity and I have the stability to be someone that you can lean on.
Imagine growing up in a home where addiction is the norm, not the exception. For Brian, this was his reality. In this heartfelt episode of 'Addiction Warfare', Brian opens up about his tumultuous journey through the dark alleys of addiction and the eventual light he found. Raised by alcoholic parents, Brian's early life was marred by chaos and a desperate search for belonging.
The pain didn't stop there; he also lost his brother and mother to the very addiction that haunted his own steps. Yet, amidst the sorrow, Brian discovered a beacon of hope: fatherhood. This newfound purpose propelled him towards sobriety, a decision that not only transformed his life but also enabled him to help others. Today, Brian is a substance abuse professional, dedicating his life to guiding others through their recovery journeys.
His story isn't just about personal triumph; it's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Brian candidly discusses the dangers of addiction, the importance of staying sober, and how he navigated through the challenges thrown his way, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
As he poignantly puts it, 'I get to wake up every day and be a substance abuse professional, and I get to wake up every day and be sober and be able to help somebody, because I have the clarity and I have the stability to be someone that you can lean on'. Tune in to hear Brian's inspiring tale of victory and defeat, and find out how he's turning his past struggles into a lifeline for others.
