Change is way more possible than you think.
Imagine being born into a world where biker gangs and drug deals are just part of the daily routine. That's the reality Joe Turner faced from a young age. In this eye-opening episode of 'The Recovering Reality Podcast', hosted by Life and Recovery Coach Erik Frederickson, Joe shares his harrowing journey from the depths of addiction to a life filled with hope and purpose. Joe's story starts in a chaotic household where addiction was rampant.
His mother drank to cope with his stepfather's behavior, and young Joe found himself sneaking sips of bourbon to escape his own pain. Despite participating in boy scouts and attending church, Joe's double life led him deeper into drug and alcohol abuse. As he grew older, Joe's addiction escalated, turning him into a drug runner while he simultaneously ran an electric company. He managed to keep his illegal activities under wraps by paying off doctors and local officials.
But as with many who struggle with addiction, it all eventually came crashing down. Joe lost his home, cars, and almost his family. The turning point came when Joe found himself behind bars. It was there that a representative from drug court offered him a lifeline—a chance at recovery. Joe seized the opportunity and embarked on a challenging but rewarding journey to sobriety. His path included time in jail, treatment programs, drug court, and years of probation.
Through unwavering support from the recovery community and a newfound connection to a higher power, Joe transformed his life. Today, Joe is not just sober; he's a beacon of hope for others battling addiction. He works tirelessly to provide resources and support to those in need, spreading a message of surrendering to success and tapping into the limitless possibilities of recovery.
Erik and Joe's conversation is a powerful reminder that no matter how dark things may seem, there is always a way out. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, Joe Turner's story is proof that change is possible. Tune in to hear this compelling interview on 'The Recovering Reality Podcast'.
