My gratitude for my life experience is extreme. If you want to get what I have, they might not get it that time, but then maybe they'll come back.
Ever wondered how a globetrotting career can spiral into addiction? Meet John, a man whose life took him from Cleveland to the far reaches of Nepal, only to bring him back to where it all started. John's story is a whirlwind of highs and lows, marked by a promising career in sales that was soon overshadowed by alcoholism and opiate addiction. Imagine being in a job where '3 martini lunches' were the norm.
For John, this lifestyle became a dangerous slippery slope. Despite multiple attempts at rehab—over ten, to be exact—his addiction seemed unbeatable. But then came Stella Maris, the treatment center that turned his life around. Now, three years into recovery, John works at Stella Maris, helping others find the same hope he did. His story is filled with humor and resilience, making him a beacon in the recovery community.
Through the support of his sponsor, group meetings, and a newfound spirituality, John has managed to turn his life around. His journey underscores the importance of finding the right support system and embracing gratitude and hope for the future. Tune in to hear John's incredible story on The New Way of Life Podcast.
