Finding Strength in Stories: Nathan Mitchell, Derian Diggs, and Corey Clarke on Recovery

If I don't feel like doing nothing, I'm not going to do nothing. You know you saying that you appreciate me being here, telling you things that you need to hear. That was the purpose of me: being able to experience these things so that I can give you my experience to help you.
How do personal stories shape the journey of recovery? In this episode of 'Get in the Herd', co-hosts Nathan Mitchell and Derian Diggs sit down with Corey Clarke to discuss the transformative power of sharing experiences. The trio dives into their own battles with addiction, emphasizing how honesty and vulnerability have played crucial roles in their paths to sobriety. Corey Clarke highlights how giving back by sharing his story has given him a renewed sense of purpose.
They discuss the pivotal role of guides and mentors, underscoring how having a trusted sponsor can be a game-changer in navigating the ups and downs of recovery. The conversation also touches on how unresolved childhood traumas can fuel addictive behaviors and the importance of addressing these issues head-on. The hosts and guest share personal anecdotes about overcoming early life struggles and finding healing through recovery. Faith and spirituality are also explored as sources of strength and guidance.
This episode doesn't shy away from discussing the challenges and rewards of leadership within the recovery community, the benefits of engaging in physical activities, and the journey towards self-discovery and self-acceptance. Throughout, practical tips on staying motivated and resilient are sprinkled in, making this episode a rich resource for anyone on the path to recovery or supporting someone who is.
