My downs aren't as bad as how I was down, like. I know there's this saying they say: your best day, your worst day, clean, isn't as bad as your best day using yeah, and my best day, using, as I said, was like that trapped feeling. And that's where I find what they call gratitude, just being grateful for, like another day, clean, yes.
Luke's story is one that many can relate to - a tale of addiction, struggle, and eventual triumph. In this episode of 'One Day at a Time: In Recovery in Baltimore', host Theo Hill sits down with Luke to unpack his journey. It all began with a rocky relationship with his older brother, which found a temporary fix through smoking marijuana together.
But what seemed like a bonding experience soon spiraled into something much darker for Luke, whose addictive tendencies led him down a path from marijuana to pills, and eventually heroin. Now, as he approaches seven years of sobriety, Luke shares the lessons he's learned along the way. He reflects on the deep-seated guilt and shame that once held him back from seeking help, and how a supportive community and personal commitment helped him break free from the cycle of addiction.
This episode isn't just about the struggle; it's about the hope and transformation that comes with recovery. Luke's insights serve as a beacon for anyone facing similar battles, reminding us all that recovery is not only possible but also a journey of profound self-discovery. Tune in to hear Luke's candid reflections and find inspiration in his story of resilience.
