My ability to manage my emotions was virtually non-existent and it often seemed as if I was on an emotional roller coaster of ups, downs, flips and swift turns for much of my life. But that all changed overnight after the first time I smoked marijuana with a good buddy of mine.
Matt Finch, co-founder of Elevation Recovery and founder of Opiate Addiction Support, opens up about his remarkable journey to sobriety in this episode. After nearly two decades of battling polysubstance addiction, Finch found a unique path to recovery that went beyond traditional methods. His early years were marred by emotional instability and substance abuse, a cycle that intensified after an evening spent smoking marijuana with a friend.
It wasn't until he hit rock bottom that he realized a drastic change was necessary. Traditional self-help groups like AA didn't resonate with Finch, prompting him to seek alternative and integrative modalities. A change of scenery played a crucial role in his recovery, allowing him to adopt a healthier lifestyle. He eliminated caffeine, practiced visualization exercises, and embraced holistic approaches that were pivotal in his transformation.
Winning the Tony Robbins Essay Contest provided Finch with a platform to share his story and advocate for unconventional recovery methods. Finch's narrative is one of resilience and innovation. He underscores the importance of finding what works for the individual, rather than sticking to one-size-fits-all solutions. His story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the potential of alternative recovery strategies.
Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Finch's journey offers valuable insights and inspiration for breaking free from substance abuse.
