It gave me the opportunity to figure out who I am as a human being, cause I was just like masking that with with drugs for my whole adult life.
Imagine hitting rock bottom, with no possessions and an overdrawn bank account, all in the pursuit of drugs. That's where Patrick found himself before he discovered Guiding Light, a free substance abuse rehab program in Grand Rapids. In this episode of 'Casting Light', Patrick opens up about his battle with alcohol and heroin addiction and how he exhausted all possible options before finding the help he desperately needed.
Patrick's story begins in Detroit, where a 30-day treatment program wasn't enough to keep him sober. Desperate and out of options, his case manager suggested Guiding Light. Despite knowing nothing about the program other than its cost-free nature, Patrick took a leap of faith. Today, he's been sober for over four years. Throughout the episode, Patrick shares the highs and lows of his recovery journey. He discusses the critical role that faith and spirituality played in his transformation.
The supportive community at Guiding Light provided him with the tools and encouragement he needed to turn his life around. From rebuilding his personal life to finding stability in his professional endeavors, Patrick's story is a testament to the power of community support and free rehab services.
Listeners will gain valuable insights into the complexities of addiction recovery, the importance of having access to free rehab programs, and the significant impact that a supportive community can have on one's journey to sobriety. This episode is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding hope, purpose, and inner peace through faith and community.
Tune in to hear Patrick's inspiring story and learn more about how Guiding Light is making a difference in the lives of those struggling with addiction.
