I was like an emotional cripple and I just didn't want to live, I didn't want to die, I just didn't have the ability to kill myself. And since that day, one day at a time, I've been doing really well in programming in my life.
Alan's story is a raw and honest account of battling deep-seated rage and the path to recovery. From a young age, Alan grappled with uncontrollable emotions, largely influenced by his father's intense anger. A traumatic incident in fifth grade, where he froze while reading aloud, led him to vow never to speak in public again. This vow was just the beginning of a life marked by depression and self-doubt.
Alan's father, whom he describes as a 'rage-a-holic', created an environment where expressing oneself was a dangerous game. This oppressive atmosphere fueled Alan's internal turmoil, pushing him to the brink of despair. His breaking point came in early adulthood with a suicide attempt that served as a wake-up call. Seeking help, Alan turned to Emotions Anonymous, a support group that became his lifeline.
Through therapy and the practice of self-love, he began to dismantle the chains of rage that had bound him for so long. Today, Alan works in the mental health field, using his experiences to help others facing similar struggles. His journey from anger and addiction to recovery and purpose is a testament to the power of therapy and self-compassion. If you're interested in real stories of transformation and the resilience of the human spirit, this episode is a must-listen.
