My goal is to teach people that there's other pathways. Yeah, because people with addiction like me, you know, with the disease of addiction it's very clear what's going to happen if I pick up again. Right, I want to keep working hard to get better and get better standards.
What if your childhood trauma set you on a path of addiction, only for you to emerge as a beacon of hope for others? That's the story Kyle shares with Jared and Jeff in this episode of 'The New Way of Life Podcast'. Kyle, the founder of the anti-stigma movement DropTheLabel, dives into his early years marked by a desperate need for outside validation and manipulation.
His struggles led him down a dark road of substance abuse, especially after leaving the military, where street life nearly consumed him. Despite several failed treatment attempts, Kyle finally found his way out of addiction. His turning point came when he began working in treatment, opening his mind to various recovery pathways. Kyle's mission with DropTheLabel is clear: recovery should be accessible to all, regardless of their path or differences. He believes that every positive change is another life saved.
Through his candid and heartfelt narrative, Kyle challenges the stigma surrounding addiction and emphasizes the importance of finding strength in vulnerability. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and practical insights into overcoming adversity and improving their recovery journey.
