I think, um, I know it's A Day at a time, but I'm very optimistic for you and your future.
When Tom Eshenfelder shares his story, you can't help but be drawn into the raw honesty of his journey through addiction and recovery. In this episode of 'Getting Unstuck', Tom, a commercial fisherman, opens up about his struggles with heroin and the path that led him to sobriety. But it's not just about heroin; Tom makes it clear that addiction wears many faces, whether it's drugs, sugar, gambling, or even negative thought patterns.
If it disrupts your life, it's an addiction. Tom’s narrative is a tapestry of heartache, resilience, and unexpected moments of joy. He touches on the critical need to be ready for recovery and the surprising ways happiness can sneak into your life, even through the smallest of things—like Chihuahuas. Spirituality and support systems play a huge role in his story, underscoring the importance of community and faith in overcoming addiction.
One of the most poignant aspects of Tom's story is his battle with shame and selfishness. He talks candidly about how these feelings can be both a barrier and a catalyst for change. His journey isn't just about getting clean; it's about finding a new way to live, filled with purpose and gratitude. Sharon Courtot, the host, guides the conversation with empathy and insight, making this episode a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
Whether you're thinking about rehab, AA meetings, or just need a dose of encouragement, Tom's story offers a beacon of hope and practical advice. Tune in to hear how one man turned his life around with the help of spirituality, support, and yes, even Chihuahuas.
