From Streets to Sobriety: Shayne B's Journey on THEUDRCAST

The biggest question of my life was: why do I continue using when all I want to do is be around my family and my little cousins and love them?
Imagine being 13 years old and finding yourself entangled in gang life on the streets of Winnipeg. That's where Shayne B's story begins, but it’s far from where it ends. In this gripping episode of THEUDRCAST, host Bill Ward sits down with Shayne B to explore his incredible transformation from gang member to a beacon of hope for those battling addiction.

He shares the pivotal moments that led him to seek a better life and the actions he took to achieve sobriety. The conversation delves into the concept of 'spiritual malady', a deep-rooted ailment that manifests in self-destructive behaviors, and how addressing this was crucial in Shayne's recovery.
Shayne also talks about the power of community and connection in his journey. He reflects on how working the steps and developing a relationship with a higher power helped him shed old behaviors and discover his true self.
One of the most poignant moments comes when Shayne recalls asking himself, 'Why do I continue using when all I want to do is be around my family and my little cousins and love them?' This episode is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding purpose and embracing altruism. Shayne’s story is a testament to the power of unselfishly devoting oneself to the welfare and happiness of others.
