If you stay clean, you go to your house, car, the lady that you want, the life that you never dreamed that you could have had, or you know, it's just.
Ever wondered how someone can transform their life from the depths of addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for others? Meet Erik Bolton. In this episode of 'The Way Out', Jason sits down with Erik, who shares his gripping journey from battling opioid and heroin addiction to finding a new purpose in life. Erik's story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about discovering the strength within and the importance of community support.
Erik's journey began with a happy childhood and service in the US Army, but post-service life took a dark turn. Struggling with depression, he found himself trapped in a cycle of prescription drug abuse that eventually led to heroin. Despite numerous attempts to break free, Erik's addiction only deepened, leaving him feeling isolated and hopeless. The turning point came when Erik was offered a chance to work with the Missouri Network for Opioid Reform and MO Better Living sober housing.
This opportunity not only provided him with a sense of purpose but also allowed him to become a natural leader in his community. Erik's involvement in sober living and counseling has made a significant impact, helping many others find their path to recovery. Throughout his conversation with Jason, Erik emphasizes the importance of seeking help, accepting support, and staying humble. He believes that recovery is a continuous process of self-discovery and taking responsibility for one's actions.
His message is clear: with hope, gratitude, and community support, a fulfilling life beyond addiction is possible. If you're grappling with addiction or looking for inspiration on your recovery journey, Erik's story is a must-listen. You'll gain valuable insights into the power of community and self-awareness, and learn practical tips on maintaining gratitude and humility in sobriety.
