Aaron Burgess: Rising Above Familial Addiction

Addiction does not have to control your life always. A lot of times in life, people will try to put a label on you just based on your circumstances.
Imagine growing up with the shadow of addiction looming over your family. In this episode of 'Step-UP To Freedom', Aaron Burgess opens up about his deeply personal journey through the chaos of his grandfather's addiction. As a child, Aaron and his sister were painfully aware of their grandfather's struggles, but instead of letting it define them, they chose a path of respect and responsibility. Aaron found solace in his faith and leaned on his community for support.
His story isn't just about surviving; it's about thriving despite the odds. He talks about the importance of not blaming those caught in the grip of addiction and rejecting societal labels that can often feel suffocating. Instead, Aaron encourages finding a positive outlet and holding onto hope. This episode is a testament to the power of resilience and the strength that comes from within and from those around us.
It's a must-listen for anyone facing similar challenges or supporting someone who is.
