We must find the serenity to accept that we cannot change the unavoidable certainty of death and loss, but we must find the courage to change the parts of ourselves that we often bury with our loved ones.
Grief is a tricky emotion, and when it's not handled well, it can lead to a downward spiral. In this episode of 'Forest Fires', John Clark dives deep into his own experiences with grief and addiction. He opens up about the overwhelming anger and resentment that took root after his father's death, emotions that he struggled to process healthily. These feelings became constant shadows, pushing him further into addiction.
But John's story isn't just about the pain; it's about finding a way out. Through raw honesty, he shares how he began to release his anger, forgive himself, and transform the parts of himself that were buried along with his loved ones. This episode is a testament to the possibility of redemption and the beauty of life after addiction. If you've ever struggled with loss or addiction, John's journey offers a beacon of hope and practical insights for healing.
