In this compelling episode of The War Podcast, hosts Dustin Hawkins and Frankie Day sit down with Russ, a WAR Life coach whose journey through addiction and recovery serves as an inspiring testament to the power of perseverance and community support. Russ shares a raw and honest account of his battle with heroin addiction, which began after he suffered an injury that led to prescription pain medication use.
Russ recounts how his life spiraled out of control, leading him to leave his family for drugs. Despite multiple attempts at treatment, he found himself living out of his car, struggling to find stability. However, Russ's story is one of redemption. Through spiritual experiences and a commitment to change, he began to rebuild his life.
A significant aspect of Russ's recovery was his involvement with the WAR lifestyle, which emphasizes holistic well-being through physical activity, community engagement, and mental health support. Russ found solace and strength in hiking, an activity that not only provided physical exercise but also offered a meditative space for reflection and spiritual growth.
Russ's dedication to hiking led him to establish a group called Outdoor Addicts, a community open to anyone seeking to connect with nature and support one another in their recovery journeys. He shares how these hikes foster beautiful conversations and personal development, encouraging others to find their passions and hobbies as part of their healing process. Listeners are invited to join the Outdoor Addicts group on Facebook, participate in hikes, and share their experiences.
This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible and that support and community can play pivotal roles in overcoming addiction.
