I was absolutely convinced that relapse was not an option and that if I missed any part of any of this, that it was going to take me back to square one, which was scary from where I had come from.
Brian Granneman's story is one of resilience and transformation. In this episode of 'Recovery Is Possible', host Michael Van Meter sits down with Brian, a former law enforcement officer, to discuss his tumultuous journey through addiction and his inspiring path to recovery. Both having met at the Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School for Addiction Studies, they share a unique bond rooted in their pasts as police officers.
Brian opens up about how addiction took hold of his life, leading him to a critical crossroads where he had to choose between continuing down a destructive path or seeking help. His candid recounting of the struggles he faced offers a raw look at the challenges of overcoming addiction, especially under the immense pressure to keep using.
Brian's tale doesn't end at recovery; he has turned his life around and is now training to become an addiction counselor, driven by a sense of gratitude and a desire to give back. The episode also touches on the role spirituality played in his recovery, providing a guiding light through his darkest times. For anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Brian's story is a beacon of hope and proof that it's possible to reclaim your life.
