The desperation has to be deep enough to carry me to that place of passion...that's the hardest part when people are in and out of recovery. The desperation has to be deep enough to carry them to that place of passion, and the things that are easy are gonna kill the person who's getting loaded.
What happens when desperation turns into a driving force for change? In this episode of 'Chasing Heroine', Jeannine and Kim sit down with Ryan Bennett, a substance use disorder (SUD) treatment counselor in San Diego, who has been clean since October 10, 2014. Ryan shares the pivotal moment when his desperation hit a tipping point, propelling him toward lasting recovery after years of addiction.
Now a dedicated professional in the field, Ryan also balances life as a husband and father of two. Ryan’s journey underscores the importance of reaching that crucial moment of true desperation, which can serve as a catalyst for meaningful change. He opens up about the critical role a strong support system played in his recovery and how developing new habits helped him navigate times of distress.
The conversation also touches on the dangers of enabling behavior and its often tragic consequences. If you’re grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Ryan’s story offers valuable insights and hope. This episode is a testament to the transformative power of genuine desperation and the incredible resilience of the human spirit.
