Ian Day's Journey: Overcoming Childhood Trauma and Addiction

Untreated trauma is the gateway to addiction.
Imagine enduring childhood bullying and abuse, then facing addiction and jail time. That's Ian Day's story, and in this episode of 'Escaping Rock Bottom', he shares his powerful journey towards recovery. Hosted by Brandon Lee, a five-time Emmy Award-winning news anchor and recovering addict, this podcast dives deep into the raw realities of addiction and trauma. Ian opens up about how untreated trauma from his childhood led him down a dark path.
He talks candidly about the abuse he faced, his struggles with addiction, and even losing custody of his son. But Ian's story doesn't end in despair. Through dedication to sobriety and healing, he not only regained custody but also built a life he never thought possible. This episode highlights the critical role of addressing trauma in recovery. Ian discusses various therapeutic approaches like EMDR and shamanism that helped him confront his past and heal his inner child.
His story underscores that recovery is deeply personal and unique to each individual. If you're grappling with addiction or know someone who is, Ian's journey offers hope and practical insights. His experiences remind us that no matter how dark things get, there's always a way to find light and build a better future.
