I woke up in jail on the third day and I said, you know, this isn't working for me.
Faith can be a powerful tool in the journey to recovery, and this episode of Recovery Coast to Coast shines a spotlight on that very theme. Neil Scott sits down with Diane Gradington, a seasoned counsellor and a person in long-term recovery for over 30 years. Diane shares her compelling story of how her faith guided her through the darkest times and led her to a life of sobriety and service.
Raised by a Pentecostal mother, Diane found solace and strength in her faith when traditional treatment options were unknown to her community. Her journey wasn't easy - from waking up in jail to losing her home - but with the support of her family and a renewed connection to her faith, she managed to turn her life around. Diane's story is not just about personal triumph but also about giving back.
She talks about her work in various recovery programmes and how she integrates her spiritual beliefs with her professional life. The episode also features reflections from the acclaimed actor Lou Gossett Jr., who shares his own wisdom on recovery and communication within families. This episode is a testament to the transformative power of faith and community in the path to recovery.
Whether you're struggling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in the recovery process, Diane's story is bound to inspire and offer hope. Tune in to hear how faith and resilience can pave the way for a brighter future.
