Without a spiritual component, it's very, very hard to get very far, because without this, the spirituality side of things, if you ask me, is the avenue of selflessness, and in the big book it says that selfishness, we believe, is the root of all of our troubles, and in my experience that's always true.
Ever felt like you're at the end of your rope? Chris S. knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Real Recovery', he opens up about his tumultuous journey through addiction and the pivotal moment that made him turn his life around. Struggling with ADHD from a young age, Chris found himself spiraling into addiction, leading to devastating consequences.
Multiple stints in jail and treatment programs didn't seem to help, but he never gave up on the hope that a better life was within reach. Through candid storytelling, Chris shares the hard truths about the damage his addiction caused and the steps he took to reclaim his life. He emphasizes the crucial role spirituality played in his recovery, highlighting how faith and selflessness became his guiding lights.
Taking responsibility for his actions, even when it was tough, was another key element in his journey. Chris's story isn't just about hitting rock bottom; it's about rising from the ashes with the help of others and a deep commitment to spiritual growth. This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction, showcasing the transformative power of faith and community support.
