I woke up one morning on the couch and just said: I've got to have a better life. I knew I had to seek help, which is a really great thing, because a lot of people they don't hit rock bottom, they just keep on going until they drink themselves to death.
Scott’s story is a powerful testament to the human spirit's resilience. Just five months ago, Scott found himself grappling with chronic alcoholism, destitution, and homelessness. Feeling the weight of his struggles, he realized he had hit rock bottom. But instead of giving up, Scott sought help from Guiding Light, a free substance abuse rehab program in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His journey from despair to hope is both heart-wrenching and inspiring.
In this episode of 'Casting Light', Scott opens up about the moment he knew he needed help, his daily bus rides past Guiding Light, and the role faith played in his recovery. Guiding Light life coaches Dan and Debbie also chime in, offering their perspectives on the importance of self-sufficiency and dignity in the recovery process. They discuss the challenges and conflicts that often arise but also highlight the transformative power of community and support.
Whether you’re struggling with addiction yourself or supporting a loved one through their journey, Scott’s story is a beacon of hope. Tune in to hear about his remarkable transformation and the strength he found within himself and his faith.
