I couldn't think straight without getting high, I couldn't do anything. I mean, I knew in My Early 20s that I had a problem when I was getting dope sick all the time, you know, and I couldn't stop, like when I tried the detox, and you know that didn't work.
Ever wondered what it takes to break free from the grip of addiction? In this episode of 'Addicts Anonymous', host Jim Rachels sits down with Shawn S., who candidly shares his tumultuous journey through addiction and his inspiring path to recovery. From early days of acting out in school and stealing from the rectory, Shawn’s story is a raw and unfiltered look at the chaos addiction can bring into one's life.
He doesn't shy away from discussing how his substance abuse strained his relationships and disrupted his social life, making it nearly impossible to stop despite multiple attempts. Shawn's turnaround began with the support of rehab and the 12-step program, where he found the community and tools he needed to start his recovery journey. He highlights the importance of staying accountable, working through the steps, and seeking help when needed.
If you or someone you care about is battling addiction, Shawn's story offers hope and practical strategies for staying sober. Tune in to hear an honest conversation about the highs and lows of addiction and the power of community in recovery.
