I believe our higher power helped us get clean, encouraged us to get clean, because he's got a bigger picture planned for us.
Imagine being disconnected from your roots at a young age, lost in the throes of addiction and entangled in the criminal justice system. This is the reality Broc Martin faced. In this compelling episode of 'The Truth About Addiction', host Ron Isherwood chats with Broc, an Aboriginal man whose journey of redemption is nothing short of inspiring.
Born a descendant of the Punthamara Mithika people in Southwest Queensland, Broc's early life was marked by disconnection from his culture and poor role models. But everything changed when he met Ron, who helped plant the seeds of transformation. Today, Broc is a drug counsellor and well-being coach in Pormpuraaw, using his experiences and ancestral wisdom to guide others through their own struggles with trauma and addiction.
This episode dives deep into the impact of colonization, the prevalence of alcoholism in remote communities, and the healing power of compassion and humility. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Broc's story offers a beacon of hope and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
