The opposite of addiction is not abstinence, the opposite of addiction is connection, and you've found some people to connect with.
What happens when you try to outrun your problems? Jim Morgan knows all too well. On this episode of 'Project Recovery', hosts Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley sit down with Jim, an Action Tech at Action Recovery Group, to explore his tumultuous journey with addiction. Jim's story begins with a simple, yet fateful, decision to drink alcohol at twelve in an attempt to fit in after moving to Ogden.
This seemingly harmless choice spiraled into a high school drinking habit he couldn't control and eventually led him to Nevada in a futile attempt to escape his growing addiction. Jim opens up about the severe legal troubles that landed him in prison for over 100 days, where his substance abuse escalated from alcohol to pain pills and heroin. But Jim's tale isn't just about the darkness; it's about finding light.
After contemplating suicide, he discovered a path to sobriety and purpose. His recovery wasn't just about quitting substances; it was about building connections and helping others. Jim's powerful message, 'The opposite of addiction is not abstinence, the opposite of addiction is connection', resonates deeply. His story is a testament to the strength found in community and support.
Tune in to hear Jim Morgan's full journey and discover how he turned his life around by fostering meaningful connections and helping others on their road to recovery.
