And at that point I had two decisions: to keep on living the way I was or try to get some help. And I called Erin and she came and got me. She got in touch with you and from there it was sleeping in a fucking park for a night.
Ever felt like you were at the end of your rope? Eli knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Picnic Table Society', Joe and Erin sit down with Eli, a man who hit rock bottom in the most dramatic way possible—walking across a highway in Queens, New York, hoping a car would end it all. But that's just the beginning of his story.
Eli’s tale is one of raw vulnerability, incredible resilience, and, believe it or not, humor. He shares how he went from the streets to finding the strength to reach out for help, eventually turning his life around. What makes this episode stand out is Eli's candidness about his struggles and triumphs, making it relatable for anyone who's ever faced their own demons.
The trio dives into the nitty-gritty of addiction and recovery, discussing the importance of support systems and the often-overlooked impact of mental health on addiction. Eli's experience highlights how crucial it is to have people who believe in you, even when you don't believe in yourself.
They also touch on the significance of finding meaningful work and being part of a community, showing that recovery isn't just about staying sober—it's about rebuilding your life in a way that makes you proud. This episode isn't just for those in recovery; it's for anyone who needs a reminder that hope is always within reach. Eli's story serves as a powerful testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome even the darkest moments.
