So instead of asking what's wrong, you ask what happened, and that opens up a whole new, different set of solutions instead of judgment, isolating him, pushing him aside.
Picture this: one moment, you're living the Hollywood dream, and the next, your world is flipped—literally. That's what happened to John Mabry, a former actor who found himself battling addiction after a life-altering car accident. In this episode of 'Chase The Vase', host Brock Bevell sits down with John to unravel his gripping story of loss, struggle, and ultimate redemption.
John's journey began with a high-flying career in the entertainment industry, rubbing shoulders with stars on sets like 'Superbad', 'NCIS', and 'ER'. But everything changed in an instant when a car accident not only took his leg but also claimed the life of his friend. The physical and emotional toll led John down a dark path of self-medication with alcohol and pills. In their candid conversation, John opens up about the turning points that led him to seek sobriety.
He emphasizes the significance of trauma-specific therapy and shares why he believes focusing on past events that led to addiction is more crucial than labeling oneself as an addict. His insights into the pitfalls of valuing social media status and the pharmaceutical industry's role in mental health are eye-opening. John also sheds light on alternative approaches to mental health care, offering hope and practical advice for those grappling with similar struggles.
His message is clear: no matter how many times life knocks you down, you have the strength to get back up. This episode isn't just a tale of recovery; it's a testament to human resilience. Whether you're on your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, John's story will leave you inspired and empowered.
