Paddy O'Connell: From Addiction to Joyful Sobriety in Nature

I dare not go in there alone, and I think the thing about addiction and alcoholism is that- and this is very true for me- is that we have this idea that we're, we're our lives and the way that we go through life.
Paddy O'Connell's life has been a whirlwind of words, laughter, and deep struggles. Known for his quick wit and love for the outdoors, Paddy is a self-described addict who has faced the dark corners of addiction and trauma. Growing up in an Irish family in Chicago, he developed a knack for storytelling at the dinner table, but behind the humor was a man grappling with pain and depression.
At 29, Paddy hit rock bottom, leading him to confront his addictions head-on. This episode of 'Nature Untold' takes you through Paddy's raw and honest journey towards sobriety. Hosts Emily Holland and John Holdmeier dive into the moments that shaped his path, from his experiences in a treatment facility to the powerful role of community support. Paddy shares how he found solace and joy in the great outdoors, emphasizing the importance of celebrating emotional and spiritual milestones.
With topics ranging from his love for the Marvel universe to the most dangerous words in the English language, this conversation is as enlightening as it is entertaining. Discover how Paddy turned his life around and found unadulterated joy amidst nature's beauty. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Paddy's story offers hope and inspiration.
