I'm just humble and grateful for being self-aware about those things in me today. And when I live in my defects for days a week, just not good things happen.
What happens when a childhood filled with abuse and addiction leads to a life of crime and despair? Shayne's story answers that question with raw honesty and hope. In this episode of 'Voices in Recovery', host David Lewry sits down with Shayne, whose early years were marked by an abusive household and experimentation with alcohol and cannabis.
Shayne's addiction journey took him in and out of prison, and even a move to Calgary couldn't initially break the cycle of substance abuse. But Shayne's story doesn't end in chaos. When he decided he was ready to embrace sobriety, he turned to a church and the step program for support. He emphasizes the importance of emotional recovery and faith in his journey, highlighting how these elements helped him rebuild his life.
Shayne talks candidly about the ongoing challenges he faces, including maintaining relationships and staying humble. His story is a testament to the power of self-awareness and the possibility of recovery, no matter how dire the circumstances. If you're seeking inspiration and practical insights for your own recovery journey, Shayne's experiences offer a powerful reminder that change is possible.
