I absolutely loved opiates, that right there it was like out of all the different drugs that I tried. There was something about opiates that just hit me differently, where I felt untouchable.
Picture this: a promising athlete sidelined by a football injury, prescribed opioids for the pain, and suddenly caught in a downward spiral of addiction. This is Dave Atherton's story, and it's one of resilience and transformation. In this gripping episode of the 'Recovery and Company' podcast, Dave takes us through the highs and lows of his journey from opioid dependency to sobriety.
After nearly losing his life to an overdose, Dave turned his battle with addiction into a mission to help others. Now sober since 2012, he's the founder of the Atherton New Living post-rehab program and the author of 'Addiction, Gravity, Love'. Dave's candid reflections on his upbringing, the pitfalls of prescription drugs, and his path to recovery offer invaluable insights for anyone touched by addiction.
Whether you're struggling yourself or supporting a loved one, Dave's story is a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of perseverance.
