Change One Thing, Change Everything.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after battling addiction? In this episode of 'The Now What Society', hosts Lane Kennedy and Tamar Medford chat with Chris Neal, a multi-platform entertainer who’s two years into his recovery from alcohol and drug addiction. Chris humorously describes himself as a 20-year-old with 8 years of life experience, but his journey is no joke.
From hitting rock bottom to finding a new purpose, Chris’s story is a testament to the power of resilience and the human spirit. He opens up about his early struggles with addiction, driven by a need for acceptance and love, and how he felt like an outsider most of his life. After facing career setbacks and physical illness, Chris knew he had to make a change.
He talks about the pivotal moments that led him to sobriety, including the support he found in meetings and the benefits of holistic treatments. Rediscovering his passion for performing arts and starting his podcast 'Cuppa Caxton' gave him a renewed sense of purpose. Lane and Tamar guide the conversation with their usual mix of empathy and no-nonsense advice, touching on important themes like mental health, breaking bad habits, and staying committed to sobriety.
Chris’s journey is not just about overcoming addiction; it’s about finding joy and meaning in life again. Whether you’re on your own recovery path or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a hefty dose of inspiration.
