People get addicted for different reasons and different intensities, but to get clean and stay clean, I'll tell you what I, I you know, we also run a recovery house here in Wilmington and I give the men so much credit for the guys that have successfully turned their lives around.
What happens when a promise becomes a lifeline? In this moving episode of 'Recovering Hope', host Mark Marcley sits down with Barbara Jean and Daniel Baldwin to discuss their deeply personal experiences with addiction. Barbara’s son, PJ, struggled with addiction, and Daniel Baldwin was there to support him. Despite their best efforts, PJ tragically lost his battle.
However, Daniel kept a significant promise he made to PJ: to run with the bulls in Pamplona if PJ could stay sober for two years. Their story has been immortalized in the film 'My Promise to PJ'. Mark delves into the emotional and practical aspects of addiction recovery, highlighting the importance of community support, spiritual growth, and the power of promises. Barbara and Daniel share how their journey has impacted their lives and the lives of those around them.
They also touch on critical issues like the dangers of pharmaceuticals and effective pain management strategies in recovery. Listeners will find this episode both heart-wrenching and inspiring as it underscores the significance of love, commitment, and community in overcoming addiction. Whether you're navigating your own recovery or supporting a loved one, this episode offers valuable insights and hope.
