But if you're saying like damn dude, like like I do this a lot like if something scares me or I get really anxious about something, I'm like you know what. Like, I have to say to myself like I'm Five And A Half Years sober and I've helped how many other people get sober.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around from the depths of addiction? In this episode of 'How I Met My Mother, Sober', Julianne sits down with Justin, a fellow Retreat alumni, to share his incredible story. They talk about how they both know the ins and outs of their treatment facility, from group sessions to the counselors who guided them. Justin opens up about his high school experiments with drugs, which spiraled into a full-blown addiction to crack.
But that's just the beginning. He straightened out before joining the military, even volunteering for deployment in a war zone. His experiences there added layers of PTSD to his struggles, but he found a way through it all. Now, Justin is not just sober; he's an advocate for recovery, sharing his story to help others find their path to healing. He talks about his past, his present, and his exciting plans for the future.
If you're looking for a story of redemption and hope, this episode is a must-listen.
