When I come from a place of understanding and my perception changed, I start to look at things differently. I look at it like, what a position to be in, not knowing what to do. Should we tell him? They loved you enough to adopt you, right? They were just trying to protect you and they did the best that they could. It's not their fault, it's not anyone's fault.
Have you ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after hitting rock bottom? In this gripping episode of 'Ashes to Awesome', host Chuck LaFlange introduces us to Jason from Surrey. Jason's story is a raw and honest account of his journey through addiction, the dark days of substance abuse, and his remarkable recovery. Raised in a loving home, Jason's life took a dramatic turn as he fell into the world of drugs and alcohol at a young age.
His descent was marked by lying, stealing, and even attempted armed robbery, leading him down a path of criminal activities and close brushes with death. Despite excelling in sports, Jason couldn't escape the grip of addiction, which escalated from weed and alcohol to fentanyl. Therapy played a crucial role in Jason's recovery, helping him confront deep-seated issues related to his adoption and find a new path to sobriety.
His transformation is nothing short of inspiring, as he now works as a peer support worker for Fraser Health's ACT team in Maple Ridge, offering hope and guidance to others battling addiction. This episode is a testament to the power of resilience and the impact of therapy in overcoming addiction.
