Recovery is about anything that makes me better and I'm going to do whatever it is that makes me better.
Imagine growing up surrounded by the perils of drug addiction. This is Christopher's reality, and he shares his powerful story in this episode of 'Stories of Recovery'. Raised in Baltimore, Christopher encountered drugs early on, but it wasn't until his senior year of high school that heroin became a part of his life. Initially resistant, he eventually gave in to peer pressure, and addiction quickly took hold.
The shame and guilt he felt were compounded by the tragic loss of a close friend to a heroin overdose. Yet, amidst the darkness, Christopher found a glimmer of hope at Powell Recovery Center. There, he discovered a supportive community and the tools he needed to reclaim his life. His journey is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the importance of seeking help.
As Christopher puts it, 'Recovery is about anything that makes me better and I'm going to do whatever it is that makes me better'. If you're facing similar battles or know someone who is, Christopher's story offers a beacon of hope and a reminder that recovery is possible.
