If I can put my ego away for two seconds and ask for help, my life's better.
Ever wondered what it's like to tackle addiction head-on at a young age? In this episode of 'Casting Light', life coaches Dan and Debbie sit down with Luke, a young man who took the brave step towards sobriety early in life. Luke opens up about how the encouragement from others in his recovery program motivated him to seek help.
He reflects on how societal views on addiction and mental health are slowly changing for the better, making it easier for young people to get sober today. But that's just the beginning. The conversation takes some unexpected turns as they discuss spending holidays in the psych ward, true crime stories, and the spiritual principle of humility.
Luke shares candid moments about practicing patience with those who aren't ready for recovery yet and the importance of not giving oneself permission to relapse. This episode is packed with insights into finding purpose in recovery and the significance of building healthy relationships. As Luke wisely notes, 'If I can put my ego away for two seconds and ask for help, my life's better'.
Tune in for an honest, sometimes humorous, and always heartfelt discussion that sheds light on the complexities of life in recovery.
