Recovery is a journey inside yourself. And not to say that, like I apply that to my clients, but that it kind of offers me this perspective on life you know, because it's like I have gone there myself.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn a life of addiction into one of purpose and hope? In this episode of 'Recovery Speaks', Justin opens up about his tumultuous path from substance abuse to becoming a Licensed Social Worker. Hosted by Mike, this conversation dives deep into Justin's early experiences with drugs, which initially felt like an escape but quickly spiraled out of control.
He recounts the chaos of arrests and car accidents that served as wake-up calls, pushing him toward the realization that he needed help. A turning point came when Justin entered detox and heard the message of recovery, igniting a spark of hope within him. He prayed for guidance and, remarkably, felt a renewed sense of purpose that led him to stop using substances on March 24th.
From there, he immersed himself in recovery meetings and built a supportive network that helped him stay sober. Returning to school as an adult in recovery was another milestone, offering Justin a fresh perspective on self-care and personal growth. Now a therapist, Justin uses his lived experience to help others navigate their own recovery journeys. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of the highs and lows of addiction, the importance of community support, and the ongoing journey of self-discovery.
Tune in to hear Justin's inspiring story and gain insights into the transformative power of recovery.
