As long as it keeps me away from the da, you know. I was sober for Nine Months, so you had Nine Months. Yeah, and you know, I was feeling really depressed and whatever. So you were in something of a bad space at the time, yeah, and then it was just there and it just made sense, huh, yeah, so you're back.
Picture this: Raoul, just a young boy, first encounters marijuana not by choice but through his father's habit. By the time he was 11, he and a friend were already sneaking from his dad's stash. Fast forward to his 13th birthday, Raoul was so high he felt nothing as friends pelted him with coins. This episode of Steppin' Out Radio dives into Raoul's tumultuous journey through addiction and recovery.
Sent to rehab after a therapist discovered his drug use, Raoul initially learned more about evading drug tests than about sobriety. He relapsed after four months, finding himself back in the grip of addiction when depression hit and a friend offered weed. However, through the support of a 12-step program, Raoul eventually found a path to recovery. His story isn't just about the struggles; it's about finding hope and the courage to seek help.
For anyone dealing with addiction or supporting someone who is, Raoul's experience offers a raw and real glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of recovery.
