So much of this is about going in and doing the hard work of figuring out how you got to this place and what you need to do to rectify that unresolved trauma that got you to this place, and that was the key to me.
What if your seemingly perfect life was hiding a dark secret? For Joshua Shea, a successful magazine publisher and city councilor, this was his reality. In this gripping episode of 'Recovery Nuggets', host David Clemen sits down with Joshua to unravel his journey from the depths of pornography and alcohol addiction to a life of recovery and advocacy.
Joshua opens up about the facade he maintained for years, masking his struggles until a pivotal moment in 2013 forced him to confront his demons. His candid story reveals the destructive impact of addiction on relationships and the essential role of therapy in healing. Joshua emphasizes that unresolved trauma often fuels addiction, and therapy can be a powerful tool in understanding and overcoming these issues.
He also touches on the spiritual aspects of recovery, acknowledging that while it can be beneficial for some, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. Listeners will find hope in Joshua's message of resilience and the importance of seeking support, whether through therapy, support groups, or sharing one's story. This episode isn't just about breaking free from addiction; it's about finding healthier ways to cope with life's challenges and rebuilding damaged relationships.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation that offers practical advice and a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction.
