Joseph Naus: From Handcuffs to Healing on The SHAIR Recovery Podcast
I have to basically relinquish my, my whole, everything that I know about myself and what I'm capable of doing and what I'm able to, the value that I bring into the world.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after hitting rock bottom? Meet Joseph Naus, a man who went from being a two-time felon and registered sex offender to a published author and advocate for recovery. In this gripping episode of The SHAIR Recovery Podcast, host Omar Pinto sits down with Joseph to explore his tumultuous journey. Joseph’s life took a dramatic turn when his addictions to sex, alcohol, and cigarettes collided, transforming his American Dream into a nightmare.
One day he was a respected lawyer, the next he woke up handcuffed to a hospital bed charged with attempted murder. But that's just the beginning of his story. Joseph shares the dark moments and the pivotal deal he made to get out of jail, only to face the wreckage his addictions had caused. He opens up about how he leaned into recovery and spirituality to rebuild his life.
Writing his memoir, 'Straight Pepper Diet', was a key part of his healing process. For anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Joseph's story is a testament to the power of surrender and the miracles that can happen when you embrace recovery.
