My biggest thing for me is my relationship with God, because that's almost always constant.
Simon’s story in this episode of Armed With Tracks is one that many will find both heart-wrenching and inspiring. Growing up with a mother battling bipolar disorder and a father who valued emotional expression, Simon's childhood was a mix of love and trauma. School wasn't a safe haven either; bullying pushed him towards drugs and alcohol as a way to mask his pain and project a facade of happiness.
His substance use escalated, leading him to sell drugs and eventually get entangled with heroin. But Simon's tale doesn't end in despair. Through a series of highs and lows, he found the strength to build a solid foundation for his recovery. His journey highlights the importance of emotional expression, family support, and a higher power in overcoming addiction.
Simon's candid recounting serves as a beacon of hope for anyone facing similar struggles, showing that redemption is possible even from the darkest places.
