Hitting Rock Bottom: A Crucial Step in Recovery with Robert Pardon

When it comes to recovery, the only way to go up is to have first gone down.
Ever wondered why hitting rock bottom is often considered a turning point in addiction recovery? In this episode of The Recovery Guy Podcast, Robert Pardon, with over three decades of experience, sheds light on the concept of 'bottoms' and their pivotal role in the recovery process. He explains that before one can rise, they must first acknowledge how far they've fallen. Denial, he notes, is a sneaky mechanism of addiction, convincing individuals they don't have a problem.
This episode unpacks how bottoms are both necessary and deeply personal experiences. Robert shares his own stories of reaching rock bottom in various aspects of his life, emphasizing that it's the moment you become 'sick and tired of being sick and tired' that change becomes possible. He also highlights the importance of honesty, faith, and a solid support system in climbing out of the depths of addiction.
If you're struggling or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a blend of practical advice and heartfelt encouragement to help you take those crucial steps toward recovery.
