Sometimes, unfortunately- and I'm a pastor in the church, I think a lot of the time in the church we see addiction and hurts and habits like this- as a bad person trying to get good when it's really someone who has got something else going on.
Picture this: a promising career at Chick-Fil-A, a degree from Georgia Tech, and a future that seemed limitless. That's where Karl Riddett found himself before addiction took hold. In this episode of 'THE COMEBACK: Stories That Inspire', Karl opens up about his journey from the heights of corporate success to the depths of alcohol addiction. Stress from his high-pressure job led him to drink, culminating in a DUI that shattered his dreams of becoming a Chick-Fil-A owner/operator.
But Karl's story doesn't end in despair. Instead, it marks the beginning of a profound transformation. With the support of Good Landing Recovery and a newfound faith, Karl rebuilt his life. Today, he's an associate pastor and leads a Celebrate Recovery ministry, touching countless lives each week. This episode delves into the challenges executives face in recovery, the role of spiritual healing, and the importance of seeking help.
Karl's story is a powerful reminder that no matter how far one falls, recovery and redemption are always within reach.
