Addiction is born out of trauma and unhealed trauma. There's a reason why people are numbing, there's a reason why people are escaping.
What happens when prescription pain pills lead to something far darker? In this episode of 'Escaping Rock Bottom', Brandon Lee sits down with Sead, a former heroin addict who now holds an executive position at Cornerstone Healing Center in Scottsdale, Arizona. Sead's story is a raw and gripping account of how he spiraled from prescribed medication into the clutches of heroin addiction. He opens up about the struggle, the despair, and ultimately, the path to recovery.
Brandon and Sead tackle some hard-hitting questions: Why do so many heroin addictions start with prescription pain pills? How does untreated trauma fuel this dangerous path? Sead doesn’t just share his personal journey; he sheds light on the broader issue of addiction and the importance of a multi-faceted approach to recovery. They discuss the role of recovery coaches and the significance of supportive communities in overcoming addiction.
This episode also dives into the emotional aspects of recovery, like battling shame and celebrating milestones with sobriety chips. Sead's transformation from a person in the depths of addiction to an executive helping others find their way out is nothing short of inspiring. If you're looking for a story of resilience and hope, or if you know someone grappling with addiction, this conversation offers valuable insights and a beacon of hope.
