What really came to mind was how I could really help people when, like I said, Tyrone called me and can't really get into too much with him I talked about, but there's an opportunity there to really share my experience, my hope that can help people, and that's going to go way further than a hat or money ever could, and that's humility, you know.
Imagine trying to navigate the stormy seas of early recovery, where every wave of emotion threatens to pull you under. Corey Winfield, host of the 217 Recovery Podcast, knows this all too well. In this episode, titled 'Clearing My Head', Corey opens up about his own struggles with frustration and anger during the early stages of his recovery journey.
He shares candidly how these intense emotions once led him down a path of drinking and how he learned to face them head-on without resorting to alcohol or drugs. Corey’s reflections are both raw and real, offering a beacon of hope for anyone wrestling with similar feelings. But it’s not just about emotions. Corey also sheds light on a less-talked-about but crucial aspect of recovery: transportation.
He discusses how something as simple as getting to and from treatment can become a massive hurdle, potentially leading to relapse. Corey’s solution? He started a transportation service specifically for people in early recovery, turning his personal challenges into a way to help others. Another significant theme Corey touches on is humility. He talks about his initial misguided search for humility to achieve personal gains and how he eventually discovered that true humility lies in helping others.
This realization brought him a sense of purpose and fulfillment he had never experienced before. This episode is a heartfelt reflection on the ups and downs of early recovery. Corey’s story is a testament to the power of self-awareness and the importance of community support. Whether you’re in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Corey’s insights offer valuable lessons and encouragement. Tune in for an episode that promises to be both inspiring and enlightening.
