Ever felt like your self-worth was tied to your achievements? Luke Worsfold knows that feeling all too well. As an entrepreneur, he found himself equating his net worth with his self-worth, which led him down a dark path of addiction. In this episode of 'Beyond Belief Sobriety', Luke opens up about his tumultuous journey from losing everything to finding a new purpose in life. Growing up with a drug-addicted mother, Luke struggled with self-esteem and eventually spiraled out of control.
But his story doesn't end there. Luke's road to recovery was anything but straightforward. He shares how acceptance of past traumas and the practice of mindfulness played pivotal roles in his healing process. The COVID-19 pandemic brought its own set of challenges, like isolation and lack of community support, making recovery even harder. Luke believes that building a strong mental foundation is crucial to overcoming these obstacles.
He emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with positive influences and staying connected with supportive communities. Now an addictions counselor and podcast host of 'Lisa Inside Addiction', Luke uses his experiences to help others navigate their own recovery journeys.
