I want you to know that because what I'm going to share is different from what other people experience. So when I was in high school, going through middle school and high school, my family member that abused me, I was very angry, as I said before the break, and I didn't know what to do with that. So there were times where I wanted to, I had thoughts of killing my abuser and I had thoughts of violence. And I'm thankful to God for that. So coming into high school as an angry kid, I had no bearing on church. I was listening to, you know, all the heavy metal stuff. I didn't care about people. At one point, my mom walked into my room, and this is where grace really kind of enters into my life for the very first time. My mom walks into my bedroom, and she shuts off the Metallica record I'm listening to, and she says, come with me.
What do you do when anger feels like it's consuming you from the inside? For Tony, the weight of his emotions became unbearable, leading him down a path of addiction and despair. But this episode of 'Real Recovery' reveals how Tony found a way out through faith. With raw honesty, Tony recounts his struggles with abuse, anger, and addiction, and how calling out to God marked the beginning of his transformation.
His story isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding a new purpose and a supportive community that helped him rebuild his life. Tony's journey is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with similar issues, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, faith and resilience can light the way to a brighter future. Tune in to hear Tony's inspiring tale of redemption and the powerful role faith played in his recovery.
