And really what it was is like the the alcoholic demons inside of me trying to convince me that that moving into a career and finding a different job and moving out of your parents house that all creates constraint in your life.
What happens when a daily routine becomes a life-threatening habit? In this episode of Project Recovery, Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley sit down with Sam Wellman, a man whose story will resonate with many. Sam opens up about his college years, where innocent experimentation with substances quickly spiraled into a dangerous routine of blackout drinking.
He shares the chilling reality of how his addiction led him down a dark path, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, which nearly cost him his life. Sam's candid reflections reveal a mindset of drinking every day until he died, a routine that worsened even as he worked at a treatment facility. But what makes Sam's story compelling is his eventual decision to seek help.
He discusses the moment he chose to surrender and the journey that followed, highlighting the importance of self-reflection and connection in recovery. As Sam poignantly states, 'the opposite of addiction isn't abstinence, it's connection', a belief he found embodied at Fit To Recover. This episode is not just about the struggle; it's about finding hope and building connections that foster recovery.
Sam's story is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, seeking help can lead to a brighter path. Tune in to hear his inspiring journey and gain insights into the complexities of addiction and the road to recovery.
