When I say that this disease is a matter of life and death, I absolutely know firsthand that that is true not only for others, but also for me, because I have been revived before I have overdosed.
Imagine reaching a point where life feels utterly unlivable. That's where Matt R. found himself, teetering on the edge of despair. In this episode of 'Stories of Recovery', Matt opens up about his darkest moments and the incredible transformation he experienced through 12 Step Recovery. Addiction had taken Matt to some desperate places, dragging him down a path where his best friend was also his partner in substance abuse.
They lived as if there was no tomorrow, until the harsh consequences became impossible to ignore. Despite countless attempts to fix his life, Matt realized he couldn't do it alone. Enter MARR Addiction Treatment Centers, where Matt found a community that didn't judge but embraced him with open arms. Here, he met Doug, a mentor who believed in tough love and honesty. Doug's guidance helped Matt embrace the principles of hope, courage, brotherly love, and service.
But it wasn't just the people who made a difference; it was also the spiritual journey that played a crucial role in Matt's recovery. Through meditation and spirituality, Matt found a new way to cope with life’s challenges. Today, he understands that addiction is a matter of life and death, and he is profoundly grateful for the second chance at life that recovery has given him.
Tune in to hear Matt's raw and honest account of how relationships, spirituality, and community support helped him find hope and peace.
