Jeremy's Path: From Heroin Addiction to Guiding Light Advocate
If it can work for me, it can work for anybody, and it's legitimately changed and saved my life.
Imagine hitting rock bottom with nothing but a quarter and a duffel bag to your name. That's where Jeremy found himself after squandering a large inheritance and battling decades of heroin addiction. When he walked through the doors of Guiding Light over four years ago, he had little hope and no plan. But something changed. Jeremy discovered a place that offered not just recovery services, but a sense of direction and belonging.
He began to see the potential for a better life and started to get into a flow that excited him. Today, Jeremy has been sober for the longest stretch since he was 15 years old. He believes that something bigger than himself guided him to Guiding Light, and he now serves as a recruiter for the organization.
In this episode of Casting Light, Jeremy opens up about his journey from addiction to recovery, the traumas that led him down a dark path, and how Guiding Light's free recovery program turned his life around. His story is a powerful reminder that no matter how hopeless things may seem, there's always a way out. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, Jeremy's story is a must-listen.
It's a testament to the transformative power of hope and the importance of free recovery programs in providing support and guidance. Tune in to hear Jeremy's inspiring journey and learn how he now helps others find the same hope and healing he discovered.
