Today I'm a very grateful member of a community that is trying to help people. We've got guys like Geoffrey Morgan. We've got heaps of guys... So, you know, if anyone's listening to this podcast and struggling with alcohol or drugs or anything, it doesn't matter, gambling, sex, food, you know, all that, you know, we're using something to try to change how we feel.
Imagine growing up surrounded by crime and addiction, only to find yourself trapped in the same vicious cycle. That's the life Ron Isherwood lived before he turned it all around. In this episode of 'The Truth About Addiction', Ron opens up about his tumultuous past, marked by heavy drinking, drug abuse, and stints in prison. His story isn't just about hitting rock bottom; it's about clawing his way back up to a life filled with hope and purpose.
Ron doesn't shy away from the gritty details. He talks candidly about his 'thinking problem' that preceded his 'drinking problem', and how he used to blackout from alcohol. But what stands out is his 'allergy' to drugs and alcohol, a term he uses to describe his body's adverse reaction to these substances. Today, Ron is a different man. He's been clean since 1986 and now dedicates his life to helping others navigate their own paths to recovery.
He shares his experiences freely, hoping to inspire those who feel lost in their struggles. This episode is a raw, unfiltered look at the realities of addiction and the incredible resilience it takes to overcome it. It's not just for those battling addiction but also for anyone who wants to understand the complexities of this journey. If you're looking for a story that proves change is possible, Ron's journey is a must-listen.
