Something real was wrong with the situation, you know, because I thought that if I got all those things that I'd be alright and like, if I just had this, if I just had that, if I just had these things, I would be okay.
James S' story is one of resilience and transformation. Growing up feeling out of place and bullied for being socially awkward, James turned to heroin, meth, and cocaine as an escape. His journey spiraled into drug dealing and constant use, making recovery seem like a distant dream.
In this episode of 'Sharing Our Stories', James opens up about his struggles and how he eventually found his way to sobriety through the Stout Street Foundation, where he stayed clean for two years. He speaks honestly about the mental grip of addiction and the painstaking effort it took to break free. James also shares the profound impact of childhood sexual abuse on his addiction, and how a supportive partner helped him tear down emotional walls and embrace self-love.
His candid account underscores the power of seeking help, practicing self-care, and finding spirituality in the path to recovery. Tune in to hear James' inspiring journey and gain insights into the complex world of addiction and healing.
