I use pain as an asset, man...when I'm having one of those days, I put myself back mentally into those places that were dark, and I use that as a driving force to push through that.
Pain can be a powerful motivator, and in this episode of 'One Day at a Time: In Recovery in Baltimore', Theo Hill sits down with Todd to explore this very idea. Todd opens up about his battles with addiction and how denial was once a crutch that held him back. But instead of letting pain defeat him, Todd has learned to use it as fuel for his recovery journey. His mantra? 'The bigger the dream, the harder the grind'.
Todd's story is a raw and honest account of the hard work and humility required to build a new life after addiction. He stresses the importance of knowing why you want to change and how crucial community support is in this process. Todd also shares his daily rituals, like prayer and readings, that help him stay focused and grounded. This episode is not just about overcoming adversity; it's about finding hope and strength in the most challenging times.
Whether you're on your own recovery path or supporting someone who is, Todd's insights offer a beacon of hope and practical advice for staying the course.
