It is so inspirational to see someone say: man, I have one life to live and I was living it like that...So guiding light gave me an opportunity to be a part of their program.
Imagine hitting rock bottom after decades of addiction, only to find yourself leading the very program that saved your life. That's the story of Brian Elve, the Director of the Guiding Light Recovery Program, who shares his compelling journey on this episode of 'Casting Light'. Once a client at Guiding Light, Brian opens up about his struggle with addiction, the pivotal moments that led him to seek help, and the people who played a crucial role in his recovery.
He reflects on the phrase 'Is it Odd or is it God?', pondering the divine or coincidental nature of his path to sobriety. Brian’s candid conversation with hosts Dan and Debbie sheds light on the fears and uncertainties that come with leaving rehab and re-entering the world. He humorously recalls how he was so scared to leave Guiding Light that he half-jokingly insisted they hire him.
Now, as Director, Brian uses his past experiences to help others navigate their own recovery journeys. The episode also touches on the impact of COVID-19 on recovery programs and the innovative approaches Guiding Light has adopted in response. Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the complexities of addiction, Brian's story is sure to resonate and inspire.
