Sometimes it's just like throw in a hail, Mary, and be like oh whatever. I don't know what's on the other side of this, and I hear that so often from the guys that I work with here, like I legitimately have no idea what's on the other side.
Picture this: you're four months into rehab, every instinct screaming at you to bolt, but you stay. This is the reality for Nick, a community member at Guiding Light. In this episode of 'Casting Light', life coaches Dan and Debbie sit down with Nick to unpack the raw and often grueling path of addiction recovery. Nick opens up about the inner battle of facing your demons, especially when running away has always been the go-to escape.
He shares his struggles and triumphs, offering a candid look at what it means to commit to long-term recovery. The conversation also dives into the impact of COVID-19 on treatment, the barriers Nick faced in seeking help, and the invaluable support he found at Guiding Light. From managing employment while staying sober to helping others on their journey, Nick's story is a beacon of hope for anyone touched by addiction.
Tune in for an honest, heartfelt discussion that sheds light on the complexities of recovery and the strength it takes to overcome addiction.
