Little by little, fixing things and learning to become human again, I consider myself to have a decent life, not a good life.
Imagine battling an opioid addiction while trying to be a supportive father. That's the reality Steven faced, and in this episode of 'Lakin Chronicles: Road to Recovery', Dr. Greg Lakin sits down with him to uncover his journey. Steven opens up about how he was introduced to opioids a decade ago and the various methods he tried to quit, none of which seemed to stick until he found a methadone clinic in Connecticut.
Today, he's on suboxone and has maintained sobriety for several years. But Steven emphasizes that medication alone isn't a magic bullet; recovery requires addressing multiple facets of life. He shares how crucial family support was in his journey and how working on other areas of his life helped him stay clean. Dr. Lakin, with his expertise in addiction medicine, provides insightful commentary throughout, making this episode both informative and uplifting.
If you're looking for a story of perseverance and the importance of a holistic approach to recovery, Steven's story is one you won't want to miss.
