I love recovery these days, by the way. I can't get enough of it.
Ever wondered how someone can bounce back from the depths of addiction? In this episode of Soberoso, Dora Gosselin sits down with her longtime friend Lyer from Ridgeway, Ontario. Lyer opens up about his tumultuous journey through alcoholism and opioid addiction, painting a vivid picture of the chaos and despair that came with his substance abuse.
He recounts the self-destructive sexual behaviors fueled by his drinking and drugging, which left him drowning in shame and remorse, yet he couldn't break free from the cycle. At his lowest point, Lyer even attempted to end his life. But that's not where his story ends. After a car accident led to an opioid addiction through prescribed pain meds, Lyer faced another uphill battle.
Yet, through seeking help and embracing spiritual practices like meditation and prayer, he found a way to turn his life around. In a candid conversation, Dora and Lyer explore the importance of seeking support and the transformative power of recovery. They delve into the spiritual and human elements that play a crucial role in staying clean and sober. The episode also highlights the vibrant Canadian recovery community that has been a cornerstone for both Dora and Lyer.
Reuniting after years of drifting apart, their friendship is a testament to the beautiful gifts sobriety can bring. Lyer’s infectious positivity shines through as he shares, 'I love recovery these days, by the way. I can't get enough of it.' His story is a powerful reminder that no matter how dark things may seem, there is always hope for a brighter tomorrow. Tune in to hear Lyer’s inspiring journey and discover how seeking help and embracing recovery can transform lives.
