I was just full of fear. You needed help and support, and, and you know, I think it's great that you're willing to talk about the fear part right now, because I think fear really truly is one of those base emotions that will cause people to do some pretty outrageous, uncharacteristic things.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after hitting rock bottom? In this episode of 'Project Recovery', Riley Loosemore sits down with Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley to share his powerful story of transformation. Riley's early years were marred by his father's abandonment and the subsequent void it left. His teenage years saw him seeking solace in substances, a path that led to fatherhood at just 19 and a spiraling addiction to crystal meth.
Riley's tale isn't just about the dark times, though. It's also about resilience and redemption. Imagine spending 72 hours in jail as a murder suspect or living homeless for four years while evading the police. These harrowing experiences could break anyone, but Riley found a turning point at Valley Camp, a rehabilitation center in Utah. This place became his sanctuary, helping him claw back from the abyss. Now, Riley is giving back as a Peer Recovery Coach with USARA.
His story underscores the critical role of community and support systems in overcoming addiction. He highlights how his family, friends, and organizations like Valley Camp played pivotal roles in his recovery journey. This episode isn't just about Riley's past; it's a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction. It sheds light on the dangers of meth, the impact of childhood trauma, and the transformative power of support networks.
If you or someone you know is struggling, Riley's story is a testament that recovery is possible with the right help and determination.
