When you see or hear about somebody who relapse, understand this, that what it took for them to get to that spot, their brain was hijacked.
Imagine running for Congress while battling a heroin addiction. That's the reality Chris Taylor faced. In this gripping episode of 'Escaping Rock Bottom', Chris sits down with host Brandon Lee to share his extraordinary journey. A former congressional candidate and combat veteran, Chris relapsed on heroin just months before the election, leading him to withdraw from the race to focus on his recovery.
His story is one of heartache and resilience, marked by PTSD from multiple deployments and the devastating loss of a child. Chris speaks candidly about how untreated trauma almost cost him his life but ultimately became a turning point. Now 10 months sober, he reflects on how his relapse was, in a strange way, a blessing that helped him prioritize his recovery.
This episode isn't just about Chris's struggles; it's a powerful message about the importance of support, breaking the stigma around addiction, and advocating for better treatment options. Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Chris's story offers a beacon of hope and practical insights that can make a difference.
