Doc Sean Davis: From Military Addiction to Recovery Advocate
To maintain sobriety is probably the hardest, um, because, like there's so many things out there, and I mean most people don't have the opportunities I had where it's like, oh, I'm just going to sell my house and move, you know, um, but I found like trying to stay away from things that are like triggers and, you know, make you think about your old life or talking about it like I'll talk about, like mine sometimes, or like some of the crazy ass stories that did, like there's so many about, like stealing shit, it's just insane.
What happens when a soldier's battle isn't just on the front lines, but within himself? In this episode of 'Sitting with Sean', Sean reconnects with his old Army buddy, Doc Sean Davis, who opens up about his struggle with addiction that began during his military service. Stationed in Vicenza, Italy, Doc found himself slipping into the grip of Meth, Heroin, and Cocaine. The transition to civilian life only made things worse as he tried to cope with his growing dependency.
Doc's story is raw and unfiltered, detailing his descent into addiction, encounters with the justice system, and multiple stints in rehab. But it’s also a story of hope. Clean for over three years, Doc shares how Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) played a crucial role in his recovery. He talks about the importance of staying away from triggers and the value of a supportive community.
This episode isn't just for those battling addiction but also for anyone who wants to understand the complexities of addiction and the courage it takes to overcome it. Join Sean and Doc for a heartfelt conversation that underscores the power of resilience and the possibility of redemption.
