Today my pain is my power and that's how I bridge the gap between the people that I talk to with my job. People can recover. And if a picture does it, with me doing a silly pose, it makes people stop and scroll.
What happens when childhood trauma goes untreated? For JT, losing his father at a young age led him down a path of gang involvement and drug use, eventually spiraling into heroin addiction. In this gripping episode of 'Escaping Rock Bottom', host Brandon Lee sits down with JT, now the Director of Clinical Outreach for Springboard Recovery in Scottsdale, Arizona.
JT's story is one of transformation, from a life marred by violence and substance abuse to one dedicated to helping others find their way to sobriety. He opens up about his early struggles, the turning points in his recovery, and how he now uses his past experiences to support others on their journey. Springboard Recovery stands out as a premier treatment center, offering personalized care that meets each individual's needs.
JT also touches on the challenges brought by the pandemic, including his own relapse, and stresses the importance of removing the stigma around relapse to encourage quick recovery. Tune in to hear how JT's journey from darkness to light serves as a beacon of hope for anyone battling addiction.
