It's only through recovery that, like, I can wake up every day and go to work and not be, you know, egotistical...
Imagine growing up without a strong male role model and constantly seeking validation. That's how Paul P.'s story begins. In this episode of Podcast Recovery, Paul opens up about his early years, where the absence of a father figure led him to crave male attention and approval. This longing steered him towards substance use as a way to fit in and feel valued.
Paul's candidness about his struggles with addiction and its impact on his relationships and daily life is both raw and relatable. He doesn't shy away from discussing the darker moments, including several failed attempts at recovery. But the turning point came with a heart-wrenching loss - the death of his child. This devastating event became the catalyst for Paul to fully commit to sobriety. Since then, he's rebuilt his life, finding new purpose and resilience.
Paul's journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and the possibility of transformation. Whether you're on your own path to recovery or supporting someone who is, Paul's story offers hope and inspiration.
