Tim Lodgen's Path to Sobriety: A Raw and Real Conversation
“If you're going to live the life of recovery, you've got to be open to change your life and become a better human being.”
Picture this: a young athlete with a promising future, suddenly derailed by the party scene in high school. That's Tim Lodgen's story. Growing up in a typical household, Tim excelled in sports until alcohol and drugs took over in grade 9. His journey took him from the Marines to a full-time job, but addiction kept pulling him back.
Now, with 17 months of sobriety under his belt, Tim joins Dave, Jared, and Mark on 'Off the Rails Recovery' to share his gripping tale. Tim opens up about his struggles with addiction, the injuries and trauma he endured, and the lessons he learned (and sometimes didn't) along the way. He talks candidly about how addiction impacted his relationships and mental health, including bouts of depression and suicidal thoughts.
But this isn't just a story of struggle; it's one of hope and redemption. Tim emphasizes the importance of seeking help and support, the role of faith in his recovery, and the power of gratitude and second chances. His journey is a testament to resilience and the human spirit's capacity for change. Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Tim's story offers valuable insights and inspiration.
Tune in to hear this raw, real conversation that aims to break the stigma surrounding addiction and recovery.
