I was taking 50 pain pills a day and drinking two bottles of vodka... I had to have a serious look at myself and decide if this is how I wanted to go out of the world.
In Episode 250 of 'God Took Me to Las Vegas', Randy Mortensen sits down with George Haymaker III, a Certified Transformational Neuroconstructionist Coach and NeuroEducator. George shares his compelling journey from battling addiction to pain pills and alcohol to reshaping his life through the power of neuroplasticity. His story is both heart-wrenching and inspiring, as he navigates the complex landscape of recovery and transformation.
George opens up about his troubled childhood, marked by frequent relocations and harsh discipline, which led to deep-seated insecurities and anxiety. These early experiences paved the way for his struggles with addiction during his college years, where he found temporary solace in drugs and alcohol. However, it was his rock-bottom moment in rehab that sparked a profound change. Through neuroscience, George discovered that the brain is capable of incredible transformation.
He explains how neuroplasticity allowed him to rewire his brain and break free from destructive patterns. This episode isn't just about George's past; it's a guide for anyone looking to understand the science behind behavioural change and recovery. Randy and George discuss practical advice for parents, the importance of open communication with children, and the critical need for better education on parenting.
George's insights are invaluable for those dealing with addiction or anyone looking to make lasting changes in their lives. His message is clear: change is possible, and it starts with understanding how our brains work. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking hope and practical strategies for transformation.
