Life Lessons from Deer Hunting: Corey Winfield's 'Sad Story Half Hour'

It seems like people are worried about: oh, if you associate with somebody who's drinking, you're automatically going to relapse. Guys are like: hey, let's go to the baseball game and you're going to be drinking and I'm not. First of all, you were the one smoking whatever and you were the one doing it on video.
Ever wondered how a simple deer hunting trip could lead to profound life reflections? In this episode of the 217 Recovery Podcast, Corey Winfield takes listeners on a journey through his past, blending humor and heartfelt moments. While driving down the road, Corey recalls the day he hit a possum and was handed a knife by his stepdad to end the animal's suffering. This experience, though grim, taught him about responsibility and compassion. But that's just the beginning.
Corey dives into another story about deer hunting with his family, highlighting how these moments have shaped his understanding of positive influences and personal growth. He doesn't shy away from discussing the challenges of staying sober in social settings where alcohol and drugs are present. Corey shares practical advice on overcoming triggers and emphasizes the crucial role non-profit organizations like 217 Recovery play in supporting those in early recovery or still battling addiction.
