I just found that I, you know, I've about my mother, I was wrong about my father, I was wrong about my brother and sister.
Imagine growing up in a house where the party never ends, and the police are frequent visitors. That's the chaotic environment Kenny D. was exposed to from a young age. In this episode of Podcast Recovery, Kenny shares his raw and honest journey to sobriety, shedding light on the pivotal role of kindness, support, and spirituality in his recovery. With a sobriety date of June 8, 1989, Kenny's story is both harrowing and inspiring.
He recounts working on boats in Alaska, thinking it would be his escape from addiction, only to find himself hitting rock bottom behind a McDonald's in Seattle. It was in that low moment that he found the strength to turn his life around. Kenny emphasizes the importance of kindness and support from others in his recovery journey. He believes that a spiritual foundation is crucial for maintaining sobriety and achieving peace.
He also discusses the challenge of balancing work and personal life, especially when workaholism becomes another form of addiction. Kenny offers valuable insights on how to approach someone struggling with addiction, advocating for a gentle and supportive approach rather than pushing too hard. His story serves as a beacon of hope, reminding us that recovery is possible and that no one is alone in their struggle. If you or someone you know is battling addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
