It was the thought of having to rely on my family that drove my decision to find a safer way.
Ever wondered how someone can pull themselves back from the brink of despair? Meet Todd Rennebohm, a podcaster and author from Indian Head, SK, who shares his gripping journey of addiction and recovery on this episode of 'Hard Knox Talks: Sober Stories. Real Talk.' Todd's story is a rollercoaster of emotions, starting with a childhood steeped in addiction. He recalls seeing his grandfathers and family members heavily drinking and using drugs, which made such behaviors seem normal to him.
Despite being a good student, Todd grappled with anxiety and eventually turned to alcohol and drugs to cope. The story takes a dark turn when Todd describes a chilling moment where he tried to stab his brother and then went for a cop's gun, feeling utterly hopeless. But it was the thought of becoming a burden on his family that pushed him to seek help. Todd's battle with ADHD added another layer of complexity to his addiction and sobriety journey.
Traditional therapy methods didn’t work for him, but alternative therapies like equine therapy and support from sober companions played a crucial role in his recovery. Family support was also pivotal. Todd credits his wife for helping him find the strength to seek help and stay sober. He emphasizes, 'It was the thought of having to rely on my family that drove my decision to find a safer way'.
His journey underscores the importance of alternative therapies and non-traditional support systems in addiction recovery. This episode is a powerful reminder that while addiction can affect anyone, recovery is possible with the right support and resources. Tune in to hear Todd’s inspiring story and gain insights into the challenges of managing addiction alongside ADHD. Whether you’re struggling yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers hope and practical advice.
