If anybody out there, you know, I just I hope that I can touch just one person through this, this interview, just one person, you know.
Ever felt like you're wearing a mask, hiding your true self just to make others happy? That's the story of Paul Grever, who opens up about his lifelong struggle with people-pleasing and addiction in this episode of 'Stigmatized'. Host Trevor Steinhauser sits down with Paul, a close friend, to explore the journey from high school drug use to the brink of despair and finally, to recovery.
Paul's life was a delicate balancing act of keeping everyone else happy while silently suffering. The weight of this facade led him to substance abuse and thoughts of ending his own life. But Paul's story takes a hopeful turn when he moves to a new town and checks into a treatment facility. This change of scenery becomes his lifeline, offering him a fresh start away from old triggers.
Now thriving in recovery, Paul shares his experience in the hopes that it might reach someone who feels just as lost as he once did. This episode is a raw and honest look at the complexities of addiction and the power of community and support in finding the way back. It's a must-listen for anyone touched by mental health challenges or addiction, whether personally or through a loved one.
