Rebuilding Lives: Daniel's Journey Through the 12-Step Program

There is no amount of self-effort that keeps you clean till the day you die. My recovery without a program became intoxicating because of how I would treat everyone around me. That was my relapse out of willpower back into a place where I needed to find surrender.
Imagine hitting rock bottom and finding a way back to a fulfilling life. That's what Daniel shares in this gripping episode of 'Addiction and Recovery'. Hosted by Chris West-Russell, Daniel opens up about his life story, from a troubled childhood to the transformative power of the 12-step program. He doesn't shy away from discussing the trauma, guilt, and anger that once controlled him. Instead, he explains how surrendering to a higher power and embracing forgiveness helped him rebuild his life.
This episode isn't just about Daniel's recovery; it's a testament to the strength of support systems, whether they come from family, friends, or fellow members of support groups. Daniel also touches on the dangers of entitlement and the importance of self-awareness to avoid relapse. If you're curious about how someone can turn their life around with the right tools and mindset, this episode offers a raw and hopeful perspective.
