I've been able to put myself in uncomfortable situations. I kind of already, by that point, I'd already changed my habits, um, or even quitting another job, or when I got demoted at a former employer. And it was there for so long that I think it just like there were times where I'd take like a month off or I'd take Three Months off back and I was but for, but there was.
How do you rebuild your life after hitting rock bottom? In this episode of 'Voices in Recovery', host David Lewry introduces us to Shea, whose journey from addiction to sobriety is both heart-wrenching and uplifting. Over a year ago, Shea decided it was time to turn his life around after years of struggling with alcohol and drug addiction. His story is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of support and therapy in recovery.
Shea opens up about the deep-seated trauma he faced as a child, experiences he kept hidden for many years. Confronting these painful memories was one of the most challenging aspects of his recovery. Yet, with the unwavering support of his mother and stepfather, and the guidance of a dedicated therapist, Shea began to heal. Therapy played a crucial role in helping him navigate his past traumas and develop the tools needed to stay sober.
But Shea's journey didn't stop at sobriety. Finding a new career path proved to be another significant hurdle. Always passionate about music production, Shea struggled to break into the field, facing stigma and discrimination common to those in recovery. Despite these obstacles, he persevered and now works in a job he loves. Shea's story is more than just a tale of overcoming addiction; it's about finding hope and purpose in the face of adversity.
It's a testament to the power of therapy, community support, and personal determination. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Shea's experience offers valuable insights and inspiration. Tune in to hear Shea's courageous story on 'Voices in Recovery' and discover how he transformed his life. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, remember that help is available.
