I credit that sort of some of the sensitivities and some of my ability to really understand the program when I came in and got sober and got well with being introduced to it at such an early age.
Imagine growing up in a home where addiction and recovery are everyday topics. That's the reality for Dane Ensley, whose story is a compelling mix of struggle and triumph. Raised in an AA household, Dane was surrounded by family members battling alcoholism and addiction. Despite his early exposure to recovery, he found himself ensnared by addiction, leading to a tumultuous life that included crime and near-death experiences by the age of 22.
In this episode of 'The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast', Dane opens up about his journey from despair to becoming a beacon of hope for others. After hitting rock bottom, Dane's path to sobriety began at a detox center. But it wasn't an easy road. Initially unemployable, he took a humble job offer at a treatment center, which unexpectedly paved the way for his career as a counselor.
His story highlights the importance of discipline and resilience in recovery, showing that no matter how deep one falls, there's always a way back up. Dane's insights into the spectrum of alcoholism and the role of family history provide valuable perspectives for anyone affected by addiction. He also shares his experiences working with high-profile clients, emphasizing the need for diverse approaches to treatment.
This episode is a must-listen for those seeking inspiration and practical advice on breaking the cycle of addiction.
