DJ's Journey: Embracing Sobriety and Self-Discovery

I know myself and I know the type of person I was before I started using, and I definitely don't want to be that. It's just like oh, and then I woke up someday and I mean I guess I shouldn't be talking smack about people, but like, but you know, yeah, I don't understand how you can.
Ever wondered what it's like to rebuild your life after addiction? In this episode of 'Casting Light', DJ opens up about his first year of sobriety after completing the Guiding Light Recovery program. He talks candidly about the rituals that helped him stay sober, the hidden struggles he faced, and the unexpected joys he found along the way. You'll hear about the fun moments in recovery that often go unnoticed, and how these small victories can make a big difference.
Debbie also shares her personal battle with an eating disorder and draws fascinating parallels between her experiences and those of people struggling with addiction. It's a reminder that we all have our own battles to fight, and that understanding these psychological crossovers can be a powerful tool in recovery. Dan adds his perspective on the importance of routine and spontaneity, striking a balance that keeps life both structured and exciting.
The episode dives deep into themes of identity and isolation, shedding light on how facing these issues head-on can lead to profound personal growth. If you're looking for real stories and genuine insights into the journey of recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
