I believe that we choose our parents before we enter this world. I believe that we choose who our parents are going to be and that we sign a contract and that we come into this life because I've had three spiritual healers, tell me in The Past Year, because that's how broke I got in January.
Imagine hitting rock bottom so hard that you steal from your child's piggy bank just to feed an addiction. That's where Dylan found himself, grappling with a crippling fentanyl habit. In this heartfelt episode of 'Escaping Rock Bottom', host Brandon Lee chats with Dylan about his incredible transformation from desperation to thriving sobriety. Dylan's story is a testament to the power of recovery and how life can turn around in the most unexpected ways.
He didn't just get clean; he built a life worth celebrating. His marriage is stronger than ever, he's an engaged and loving father, and he's making waves in the real estate world in Arizona. But how did he do it? A big part of Dylan's journey involved embracing spirituality. He started attending church with his wife, which helped him find a deeper sense of purpose.
Dylan shares a fascinating belief that we choose our parents before entering this world, a concept that has helped him make peace with his past traumas. It's a perspective he's come to embrace through the guidance of three spiritual healers over the past year. The conversation also dives into the impact of childhood trauma on addiction.
Dylan opens up about growing up with teenage parents who lacked the life experience to support him adequately, leading him to drugs and alcohol as coping mechanisms. Through recovery, he's learned to process his emotions healthily and validate his experiences. Brandon and Dylan also tackle the stigma surrounding addiction and mental health. Dylan talks about the importance of being authentic with friends and family about his struggles, which has led to more meaningful connections.
He believes that putting a face to addiction can help normalize mental health issues and save lives. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the transformative power of spirituality in recovery, understanding the roots of addiction, and breaking down stigmas. Dylan's story is a beacon of hope for those facing similar battles.
