Scott's Journey: From Darkness to Light on Powerless to Powerful Recovery Podcast
I don't care what your conception of god is. If it's something made up that works for you, you have to have some higher power.
Scott's story is one of those that grips you from the start. In this episode of the 'Powerless to Powerful Recovery Podcast', hosts Jason Inserra and Ronny No Matter What dive deep into the second part of Scott's incredible journey. Scott opens up about his struggles with addiction, the trauma he endured, and his time in prison. His belief that having a child would fix everything led him down a path of relapse, theft, and eventually, incarceration in Arizona.
The stark environment of prison was a turning point for Scott, surrounded by faces he never expected to see there. But prison wasn’t the end for him; it was just the beginning of a profound transformation. Scott shares how discovering a higher power became a cornerstone of his recovery. He emphasizes that while everyone's concept of God may differ, having some form of spiritual connection is vital.
This belief propelled him to sponsor many others, attend numerous meetings, and engage in service work. Relationships also play a pivotal role in Scott's recovery. He candidly discusses how his past actions strained his relationships with loved ones but underscores the importance of prioritizing these connections over material possessions. Today, Scott proudly sponsors friends within the recovery community, highlighting the transformative power of these bonds. His story is a testament to resilience, hope, and the healing power of relationships.
As Scott puts it, 'I don't care that I drive a Camry with miles on it. Relationships in my life are the most important things in my life'. Tune in to hear Scott's full story and find inspiration for your own journey.
