I remember when you said about that pill- and it still sticks with me, as you said, it made me feel how I'd want to feel if I was in control of my feelings. But what I went through ended up giving me the greatest gift.
What does it take to climb out of the depths of addiction? In this episode, Danny Deaton, founder of Living Proof Recovery, shares his deeply personal story with hosts Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley. Danny takes us back to his first encounter with alcohol in middle school, a moment that sparked a tumultuous journey through addiction. He recounts the allure of oxycontin, which he felt filled a void he'd been searching for his entire life.
As his addiction grew, Danny faced the harsh realities of substance abuse, leading him to spend 28 days in rehab—a stint he admits he didn't take seriously at the time. But Danny's story doesn't end in despair. He opens up about a life-changing car accident and the pivotal role his brother and father played in steering him towards recovery. Two seltzers led to a relapse, teaching him the hard lesson that recovery isn't a straight path.
Through candid conversations, Danny emphasizes the importance of recognizing one's privileges and blessings, the dangers of reckless partying, and the profound impact of addiction on families. Danny's journey is a testament to the power of family support and open communication. He discusses why he founded Living Proof Recovery, aiming to help others find their own path to sobriety.
This episode offers a raw and honest look at addiction and recovery, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking hope or understanding in their own battles with substance abuse.
