Eyob Mabratu, known to many as Joe, takes you on a heartfelt journey through the parable of the Good Samaritan in this episode of 'Ashes To Rubies: Addiction To Connection'. Eyob shares his personal reflections on how he once saw himself as the hero in his own recovery story, only to realise that he was more like the man left for dead on the side of the road.
Through his candid storytelling, Eyob opens up about the moments when he felt abandoned and how unexpected acts of kindness carried him to safety. He recounts a powerful story from the height of the BLM protests in London, where a man named Patrick Hutchison saved a far-right protester from danger, drawing parallels to his own experiences of being saved during his darkest times. Eyob's message is clear: true recovery comes from acknowledging our helplessness and allowing others to help us.
He emphasises the importance of grace and the role of community in lifting each other up. By sharing his struggles with codependency and his attempts to fix himself, Eyob encourages listeners to embrace vulnerability and accept support. This episode is a poignant reminder that recovery is not a solo journey but a collective effort of compassion and understanding. Don't miss out on Eyob's inspiring perspective on what it means to be truly carried to safety.
