I love the diversity of recovery, but it takes us time and it takes a lot of hard work and different ideas. What worked for me mightn't work for you. It's the only thing that works, yeah. The bottom line is, I love the diversity of recovery. I love the fact that we do recover, but it takes us time and it takes a lot of hard work and different ideas.
Michael Haynes' story is a raw, unfiltered look into the depths of addiction and the arduous climb to recovery. Starting at just 15, Michael's life spiraled into drug dealing and a harrowing addiction to Meth. He shares how his dependency wasn't about pleasure but a desperate cry for escape, saying, 'I shot Meth to die'. For decades, he was entrenched in a dark belief system that kept him hidden from the light of recovery.
But Michael's journey took a remarkable turn when he found Cocaine Anonymous and embraced spirituality. This episode of 'The Truth About Addiction' with Ron Isherwood offers an eye-opening narrative of how Michael transformed his deeply ingrained behaviors and beliefs. His candid recounting of his past and the pivotal role his spiritual advisor played in his recovery highlights the power of honesty, hard work, and serving others. It's a compelling tale of redemption and the search for a better life.
