But also to be able to look in the mirror and like, oh, wow, like why I didn't really like how I did that, like in someone, and I live with Ryan and me and Ryan go back and forth all the time.
Picture this: you're 23 years old and facing liver failure. Was it the whiskey or the staggering 5000mg of Tylenol you were taking daily because your liver hurt? In this gripping episode of 'Casting Light', Guiding Light life coaches Dan and Debbie sit down with Ryan, a former recovery client, to unpack his harrowing journey through severe alcoholism and his remarkable path to four years of sobriety.
Ryan doesn't hold back as he discusses the physical and emotional battles he's faced, including the 'chicken or the egg' scenario of his liver damage. He dives into the importance of feeling physically good in recovery and how diet and exercise have played pivotal roles in his healing process. But it's not just about the physical; Ryan also explores the mental hurdles, like justifying his disease and discovering new facets of himself through the program.
He shares how grit, effort, and the courage to speak his mind have been game-changers in his recovery. The conversation takes a heartfelt turn as Ryan and the hosts highlight the significance of giving back to the community, offering a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction. This episode is a raw, honest look at the complexities of recovery, filled with moments that are both inspiring and deeply human.
