Battling Demons: Enrique Aponte's Path to Sobriety

When you start to get into rapport with somebody and people feel that you really understand what they're going through- not just from a book, because most addicts have low self-esteem...
Imagine feeling trapped by your own mind, constantly battling compulsions and destructive behaviors. That was Enrique Aponte's life over twenty years ago. In this episode of 'Beat Your Addictions', host John Giordano sits down with Enrique to discuss his harrowing journey through addiction and the methods he developed to reclaim his life. Enrique shares the raw emotions of feeling hopeless and the pivotal moment when he sought professional help.
This isn't just a story of struggle; it's one of triumph and transformation. Enrique introduces his 3 C’s and 4C's Methods, strategies born from his personal experience, designed to help others break free from the shackles of addiction. He talks about overcoming feelings of inadequacy and the importance of believing in one's potential for happiness in sobriety. The conversation also touches on the dangers of narcissism in the recovery field and why empathy and selflessness are crucial for genuine support.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the human spirit's resilience, Enrique's story offers a beacon of hope and practical advice. Tune in to hear how understanding the addiction mindset and fostering empathy can make all the difference.
