I felt like these people were doing things that I wasn't capable of doing, that I couldn't get my life together, and I didn't know what I wasn't doing.
Imagine finding a new purpose in life after overcoming addiction. That's exactly what happened to Jake Knighton and Paul Price, two former addicts who now work at Brighton Recovery Center. In this engaging episode of Recovery Soapbox, host Brady Kuan sits down with Jake and Paul to discuss their inspiring journeys from struggling with addiction to building fulfilling careers in recovery treatment.
Both men share the pivotal moments that led them to this path and offer practical advice for anyone considering a similar career move. They delve into the importance of maintaining personal recovery while working in the field, and how to avoid common pitfalls. Jake recalls a transformative group therapy session that inspired him to become a therapist, while Paul talks about finding the missing piece of his recovery puzzle at Brighton and deciding to apply for a job there.
The conversation also touches on the rewards and stresses of working in recovery, emphasizing the need for self-care. Paul candidly shares his experience of becoming too reliant on his job for his own recovery, and how he learned to separate the two to be more effective in both areas. If you're in early recovery or contemplating a career in addiction treatment, Jake and Paul's stories provide valuable insights and encouragement.
