I'm finding it necessary that I don't need to pick up a drug or drink, and that life can actually be life, you know. This wasn't the person that I always was.
Imagine growing up in the shadow of addiction, watching a parent struggle with alcoholism. That's the backdrop for Sal's story in this episode of 'The Recovery Scene'. Host Lesley Klepac sits down with Sal, who nearly mirrored his father's path of addiction. As a child, Sal faced trauma that led him to experiment with drugs during his school years. His journey spiraled into addiction, culminating in job loss and personal turmoil.
But this isn't just a tale of struggle—it's a powerful narrative of hope and resilience. Sal recounts how he found solace in a supportive group of young people and the profound impact of sharing his story. He delves into the importance of family and relationships in his recovery journey, even touching on the challenges of dealing with rare genetic disorders within his family.
Sal's experience underscores that breaking the cycle of addiction is possible, and it's never too late to seek a healthier, happier life. Tune in to hear how Sal turned his life around and the lessons he learned along the way.
