Finding Hope: Justin Hammerback's Guide to Early Recovery

We have programmed our brain to always find the easier, softer way, and you can't take that easy way out anymore.
Imagine sitting down to watch the Super Bowl, but instead of being surrounded by friends and family, you're in a rehab center. That's exactly where Justin Hammerback found himself just a year ago. In this episode of the HammeredRecovery Podcast, Justin dives into his early days of recovery and how he navigated the changes that came with it.
He shares a powerful line from 'The Walking Dead': 'Rick, your world is about to get a whole lot bigger!' This quote resonated with him as he began to understand the vastness of life beyond addiction. Justin discusses the pivotal role of rigorous honesty in recovery, drawing from Chapter 5 of the Big Book.
He reflects on lines like 'Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path,' emphasizing that success in sobriety demands a level of honesty and commitment that can be daunting but ultimately rewarding. He also talks about the importance of taking action and making real changes in life, rather than opting for the easy way out. Service to others and finding a higher power are also key themes in this episode.
Justin believes that helping others on their recovery journey not only aids them but also strengthens your own resolve. He reminds listeners that while the road to sober living is challenging, it's filled with moments of hope and triumph. Whether you're just starting your recovery journey or looking for ways to stay motivated, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.
Justin's candid reflections and practical advice make it a must-listen for anyone seeking to overcome addiction and embrace a sober life.
