William and Brittany: Paths from Darkness to Hope

I try my best to be available as possible for them...our real passion is with where it all began: the circle of hope, my support group for the families of addicts.
How do you transform a life gripped by addiction into one filled with hope and purpose? In this episode of 'The Empty Chair', host Colleen 'Cole' Welch brings us the compelling stories of William and Brittany, two individuals who have battled addiction and emerged stronger. William’s journey began at just 14, when what started as casual drinking spiraled into a decade-long struggle with alcohol and substance abuse.
His life became a cycle of detoxes, halfway houses, and failed attempts at sobriety. It wasn’t until he found the Guild House for Men that he began to turn his life around. Today, William is not only sober but also a dedicated family man and an advocate for those struggling with addiction. Brittany's story is equally powerful. She shares how her experience with addiction fueled her passion for helping others.
From supporting a single person in recovery to creating programs that assist many, Brittany's journey underscores the importance of community and support in overcoming addiction. Both William and Brittany highlight the crucial role of accessible resources and the power of sharing one's story. They emphasize taking recovery one day at a time and the significance of spirituality in their healing processes.
Their narratives serve as a beacon of hope, reminding us that recovery is possible with the right support and mindset. Tune in to hear their inspiring stories and gain insights into the resilience needed to overcome addiction.
