Facing the Shadows: Ryan Decker's Take on Suicide and Addiction

It's seriously, there's, it's, it's not real, you see, like the highlights of everybody's lives. And so I, and it becomes not spiritual work, you know, like, I'm like all mad and I'm thinking, dude, I was better than him at this age. I mean this is just something you can't ever even try.
Imagine discussing the toughest topics with raw honesty and a sprinkle of hope. That's exactly what you'll find in this episode of the SOAR podcast, where hosts Dustin and Frank sit down with Ryan Decker from Wasatch Recovery. The conversation kicks off with a heartfelt discussion about the tragic death of Anthony Bourdain, touching on the ripple effects of multigenerational suicide. One of the hosts shares a deeply personal connection to the topic, making the dialogue even more poignant.
Ryan opens up about his own battle with addiction, shedding light on how it impacted his relationships, spirituality, and overall well-being. He doesn't shy away from talking about the false reality often portrayed on social media, emphasizing that what we see online is just a highlight reel, not the full story. This episode isn't just about the dark side of addiction and suicide; it's also about finding the light at the end of the tunnel.
Key takeaways include the importance of seeking help and support, and how spirituality and nutrition can play pivotal roles in recovery. If you're looking for a podcast that offers both hard truths and a path to hope, this episode is a must-listen.
