I like to talk about this, outlined in the big book, in that literature, you know, I wasn't able to stay, stopped, I wasn't able to moderate, and so you know, back on the pod, back on the alcohol, back on the pain pills and this kind of like progress over the next, like you know, many years.
Imagine taking your first drink at age 12, only to find yourself years later battling heroin addiction and facing prison time. This is Robert White's story, and it's one of resilience, transformation, and hope. In this episode of 'Surviving Opioids - Beyond an Epidemic', host Jeff Simone sits down with Robert, the founder of Any Length Retreat in Pflugerville, TX. Robert’s journey is a testament to the power of community support and spiritual growth in overcoming addiction.
Robert's path to recovery was anything but smooth. After multiple failed attempts at various treatment centers, he found himself incarcerated on a drug-related charge. But it was within those prison walls that Robert discovered his Higher Power and began his spiritual journey through the 12 Steps. This newfound sense of freedom and purpose led him to establish Any Length Retreat in 2012, aiming to create a family-like environment where men could find lifelong recovery.
Throughout the interview, Robert speaks candidly about his struggles and the moments that shaped his recovery. He emphasizes the importance of honesty, community, and mindfulness in the healing process. His story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding a deeper sense of purpose and using that to help others. Listeners will gain valuable insights into the role of spirituality in recovery and how community support can be a cornerstone for lasting change.
This episode is a heartfelt conversation filled with empathy, wisdom, and practical advice for anyone touched by addiction.
