They get off drugs, they change their lives and they never look back.
Imagine facing an ultimatum that could change your life forever. For Garrett Gray, a business owner battling severe opioid addiction, this moment came when his wife threatened divorce and custody loss if he didn't quit. In this gripping episode of Elevation Recovery, co-hosts Chris Scott and Matt Finch sit down with Garrett to uncover his extraordinary journey from addiction to recovery.
Raised in a small town in central Alabama by loving parents, Garrett's first encounter with opioids began innocuously enough—taking a Lortab in school. This seemingly minor act spiraled into a full-blown addiction, costing him a college scholarship and nearly his family. But hitting rock bottom became the catalyst for Garrett's transformation. Going cold turkey wasn't easy. Garrett describes the agony of withdrawal and how warm baths offered some relief.
His recovery was fueled by a powerful mindset shift, inspired by Navy SEALs' strategies. He embraced discomfort through cold showers and pushed himself to read and listen to others' recovery stories, finding motivation in their experiences. Garrett's story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about the power of resilience and the importance of mindset. He shares practical tips on fitness, supplements, and the mental toughness required to stay on track.
His message is clear: recovery is possible, and it's worth every effort. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Garrett's tale is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for change and the transformative power of determination.
