Recovery doesn't suck, you know is key by young people in recovery. It's cool to be sober Today.
What happens when a star athlete's life spirals into addiction? In this compelling episode of 'A Man In Recovery Radio', host Tim Ryan sits down with Darek Horan, a former three-sport varsity athlete whose promising future took a dark turn after a knee injury led him to opiates and eventually heroin. Darek’s story is a raw and honest account of hitting rock bottom, including a harrowing moment by Lake Michigan with a gun in his mouth.
Thankfully, fate had other plans for him, and he began his road to recovery. Today, Darek is not only sober but also works as an Outreach Coordinator for Banyan Treatment Center and volunteers at A Man In Recovery Foundation. Tim and Darek dive into the pivotal moments that led to Darek’s transformation, the importance of community support, and the role of treatment centers in the recovery process.
They also discuss the broader impact of addiction on families and the critical need for education and awareness. This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. It underscores that recovery is not just possible but can lead to a fulfilling and purposeful life. If you're looking for an inspiring tale of resilience and redemption, this episode is a must-listen.
