Whatever gets you to that healing place, that is what you are meant to do.
Imagine being struck by lightning and then embarking on a journey of recovery that takes you across an entire country. That’s James's story, and it’s nothing short of extraordinary. On this episode of 'Voices in Recovery', James sits down with host David Lewry to share his incredible journey of resilience and healing. After surviving a lightning strike, James found himself grappling with addiction and mental health issues that felt overwhelming.
Instead of succumbing to these challenges, he took to walking—long, contemplative treks across Canada that became his lifeline. These walks weren't just about physical movement; they were a spiritual and emotional journey, deeply connected to Indigenous traditions and the natural world. Along the way, James discovered the power of community and the importance of giving back. He became a passionate advocate for frontline workers, recognizing their crucial role in supporting those on their own recovery journeys.
His walks also served as a platform to raise awareness and funds for various causes, further deepening his sense of purpose. Spirituality played a key role in James's recovery, providing him with a sense of connection and meaning. Embracing Indigenous teachings and ceremonies, he found a path to living in harmony with the world around him. James's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, no matter how daunting the obstacles may seem.
It's a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the healing power of community and spirituality. Tune in to hear James's inspiring journey and find hope and encouragement for your own path to recovery.
