I don't want to kill the man, I know me killing the man's just going to result in me going to prison and I don't want to do that now. Right, we as men, I think, have been trained and told as society that you know you need to keep that stuff.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after hitting rock bottom? Meet Jefferson, the Admissions and Outreach Coordinator at Americas Rehab Campuses, who shares his gripping story on this episode of The ARCast. Jefferson moved to Arizona just before turning 30, only to find himself grappling with addiction and the startling revelation that his father was an alcoholic.
Growing up in a sheltered environment, he was unprepared for the harsh realities of addiction and trauma, which left him feeling confused and isolated. Struggling academically, Jefferson turned to drugs and alcohol as a way to cope with his emotions. Despite facing severe legal consequences, he found it difficult to ask for help and eventually became homeless. It was a volunteer position at a treatment center that marked the beginning of his journey towards recovery.
Through his experiences, Jefferson learned the importance of honesty, communication, and building strong relationships. Tune in to hear how he overcame shame and found his path to sobriety.
