John Mabry: From Tragedy to Triumph in Addiction Recovery

I think the crux of the message I want to send out to people is that you, as an individual, you were the listener you have control over.
Imagine starting your adult life with a traumatic event that would change everything. That's John Mabry's reality. At just 22, John survived a horrific SUV accident that claimed his right leg and his friend’s life. This devastating incident marked the beginning of a painful journey through addiction to painkillers and alcohol. In this episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', John opens up about his struggles and the turning points that led him to recovery.
After the accident, John found himself in a downward spiral, using substances to cope with his physical and emotional pain. His story is a powerful reminder of how easily addiction can take hold, especially when masking deeper issues. But John didn't stay down. He found hope and healing through Celebrate Recovery, a program that helped him build meaningful relationships and accountability. Faith and spirituality also played significant roles in his journey back to health.
Today, John is not just surviving; he's thriving. As a counselor, motivational speaker, triathlete, and proud father of three, he uses his past challenges to inspire others. His work with the Challenged Athletes Foundation shows his commitment to giving back and supporting those facing similar struggles. John's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of addressing the root causes of addiction.
It's a compelling listen for anyone seeking hope and practical advice on overcoming life's toughest battles.
