But the difference with living in long-term recovery is, you know, you develop a little pouch of tools that you can reach into to deal with the difficulties.
Ever felt like you've hit rock bottom and there's no way up? Clyde Allen Hensley knows that feeling all too well. In this gripping episode of 'Recovery Talks: The Podcast', Clyde opens up to host Marc Lee Shannon about his tumultuous journey through addiction and the miraculous turn of events that saved his life. Clyde's story starts with a speech impediment that led him to seek solace in alcohol from a young age.
What began as a couple of beers to feel 'cool' spiraled into a destructive path marked by multiple DUIs, job losses, and burned bridges. By 2009, Clyde found himself 'unemployable' and isolated, even managing to get kicked out of a place called Haven. But just when it seemed like all hope was lost, fate intervened in the form of a passing train and a stranger who saved him from certain death.
With the help of the Salvation Army, Clyde managed to regain control of his life and his musical career. He shares how he developed a 'pouch of tools' to navigate the challenges of long-term recovery and emphasizes the importance of celebrating small victories rather than trying to rebuild everything overnight. This episode isn't just about Clyde's struggles; it's about his resilience and the tiny steps that led to monumental changes.
Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Clyde's story offers a powerful reminder that it's never too late to turn things around.
