I don't know what this is, but but I want to go hang out with the celebrities at the bougie. And you know, I just told them what they wanted to hear to get the hell out of heck, out of there, sorry. And the detox actually went into the first time, gave me a chance, and from there, you know, I made my way back home and now I get to help people.
Ever wondered how some people turn their lives around after hitting rock bottom? In this episode of 'Project Recovery', TV personality Casey Scott and licensed psychologist Dr. Matt Woolley sit down with Corey Markisich and Ryan Decker, two individuals whose paths to recovery are as inspiring as they are challenging.
Corey, the Executive Director of Wasatch Recovery, opens up about his childhood struggles with anxiety, the slippery slope of experimenting with Oxycontin in high school, and how his addiction spiraled into participating in a major drug ring, leading to his arrest. Ryan, the Marketing Director at Wasatch Recovery, shares his family's long history with mental illness and addiction.
He talks about how what started as casual use of weed and alcohol in high school escalated into a decade-long battle with pain medication, costing him $400 a day at its worst. Both Corey and Ryan delve into the profound impact of trauma on addiction and the critical importance of addressing co-occurring disorders. They highlight how building a supportive community has been vital to their long-term recovery.
Vulnerability and self-care are also key themes, as they discuss the necessity of admitting one's weaknesses to truly heal. Through their work at Wasatch Recovery, Corey and Ryan have found a new sense of purpose, helping others navigate the difficult road to sobriety. This episode offers a raw, honest look at the complexities of addiction and the redemptive power of recovery.
