You know, it's wild, because the man I am Today bears almost no resemblance to who I was Years Ago.
What happens when you hit rock bottom and realize you need to change? This episode of 'Positive Recovery MD' features Joseph Gorordo, a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, who opens up about his personal battle with addiction and the long road to recovery. Hosted by Dr. Jason Powers and Julie DeNofa, the conversation dives into Joseph's early years in Laredo, Texas, where feelings of not fitting in led him to experiment with drugs and alcohol.
Before he knew it, substance abuse had taken over his life, turning him into someone he barely recognized. Joseph's story is one of transformation, from stealing money to fund his addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for others struggling with similar demons. He shares the pivotal moments that made him seek help and the immense challenges he faced while trying to get sober. One of the most touching aspects of this episode is Joseph's emphasis on self-forgiveness.
He explains how forgiving himself was crucial in his journey to forgive others and build healthier relationships. The episode also highlights the power of community support in recovery. Joseph, now a Vice President at Recovery Unplugged and an advocate for addiction professionals, talks about the importance of mutual support among those in the field and those they aim to help. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Joseph's story offers valuable insights and inspiration.
