Suddenly I was exactly the person I thought I should be and wanted to be.
What if the person you thought you should be was just a meth-induced illusion? In this eye-opening episode of 'Factory Settings', Bridget Phetasy and her husband, Jeren Montgomery, pull back the curtain on Jeren's turbulent journey through meth addiction. Jeren, an associate marriage and family therapist, shares candidly about how meth made him feel smarter, funnier, and more charming—everything he believed he needed to be. However, this facade came with a heavy price.
Arrested and facing a harsh reality check, Jeren's life took a dramatic turn that led him to his first exposure to a 12-step program. With a touch of humor and raw honesty, Jeren recounts his struggle to manage his addiction while obsessively researching ways to avoid the physical toll, like losing his teeth. Bridget and Jeren also delve into the early days of their relationship, revealing the emotional tug-of-war Bridget experienced as she navigated her feelings for Jeren.
They explore how the beauty of the 12-step program lies in its ability to evolve with you, offering a flexible path to recovery tailored to individual needs. This episode isn't just about addiction; it's about the power of seeking help, being brutally honest with oneself, and finding a path to genuine self-fulfillment without relying on substances. It's a story of transformation, love, and the relentless pursuit of a better life.
