And I learned during that time and reminded myself that no, there's, there's, there's truth, right and wrong in every situation, um, and I'm not going to preach like karma or like the prosperity, gospel or anything, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out. Uh, if I refrain from getting high, good things are going to happen.
Picture this: two old friends who once spiraled together in the chaos of addiction, now united in a mission to spread hope. That's the heart of this episode of 'The Real Answer to Addiction Podcast', where Michael Zurawel sits down with his longtime buddy, Chris. Michael's story is nothing short of transformative—he went from being deeply entangled in heroin addiction to discovering a new life in Christ.
This isn't just another tale of hitting rock bottom and bouncing back; it's a raw, heartfelt recounting of how faith and community can pave the way to lasting freedom. Michael talks about the pivotal moment when he realized that chasing temporary highs was leading him to destruction. Instead, he found a new kind of power—resurrection power—that helped him rise above his past and become a new creation.
But it wasn't just divine intervention that saved him; it was also the relationships he nurtured along the way. Michael emphasizes that unhealthy relationships often drag people back into addiction, while healthy ones, especially those rooted in faith, are crucial for recovery. Gratitude played a significant role in Michael's journey too. He likens it to a muscle that needs regular exercise, regardless of life's ups and downs. Finding purpose was another cornerstone of his recovery.
Michael discovered that his calling was to help reconcile others to God, and this mission brought him immense fulfillment. Community support is another theme Michael touches on. He believes that it's never too early in recovery to let God work through you. Knowing that others have faced similar battles can be incredibly empowering and help resist the enemy's whispers. Tune in to hear Michael's inspiring journey from heroin addiction to forever freedom.
His story offers not just hope but practical steps for anyone grappling with addiction.
