Life is life and life is difficult and you're going to fit. I was willing to do what it took to get to it, you know, and- and that's the biggest key- is be willing to do certain things that you're uncomfortable doing.
Meet Brian, a Staten Island native whose story is nothing short of remarkable. In this episode of 'Voices From Rock Bottom', hosted by the ever-insightful Dr. Prof B, we dive into Brian's life, from his high school days of drumming to his career as a New York City sanitation worker. After 21 years of service, Brian retired and now works part-time at Lifestyles for the Disabled. But his journey doesn't stop there.
Brian's passion for helping others and his love for riding motorcycles add layers to his compelling narrative. Brian opens up about his battle with addiction and the path he took towards recovery. He talks candidly about how music became a lifeline, helping him navigate the rough waters of addiction. Outpatient programs and the unwavering support of his family played crucial roles in his recovery, offering him the strength and courage to face life's challenges head-on.
But it's not just about overcoming addiction. Brian emphasizes the importance of stepping out of your comfort zone to achieve success, both in recovery and in life. His story is a powerful reminder that while life can be incredibly tough, recovery is always within reach. Salvatore, another guest on this episode, shares his own experiences and how he balances being a proud father with his role as a pro-fighting wrestler named 'Cyrus DeVille'.
Together, Brian and Salvatore offer a rich tapestry of stories that highlight the transformative power of resilience and community support. This episode is a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction or in search of inspiration. It’s a heartfelt conversation that underscores the importance of hope, courage, and the willingness to embrace discomfort for a better life.
