It's easy to stay sober on those days, but it's really just staying hyper-focused on the days where it's not going your way.
Imagine hitting rock bottom, eating stolen chicken in your car, and then transforming your life to help others find their way out of addiction. That's exactly what Scott Kindel did. In this episode of 'Beyond the Bars', Scott, the Director of Admissions and Aftercare at Foundry Treatment Center, opens up about his tumultuous journey from addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for many.
He’s not just a recovery advocate; he's also an accredited recovery coach, certified addiction counselor, and someone who knows the ins and outs of long-term recovery firsthand. Scott's story is a rollercoaster of lows and highs. From stealing to feed his addiction to facing jail time, he found himself at a crossroads. Instead of serving a hundred-year prison sentence, he was given a chance to enroll in a two-year treatment program at the Stout Street Foundation.
This opportunity became the turning point in his life, leading him to sobriety and eventually to a career dedicated to helping others. One of the most compelling parts of Scott's narrative is his emphasis on setting boundaries. He shares how crucial it is for families dealing with addiction to understand and utilize available resources effectively. Scott also delves into the role of interventionists, explaining how they can provide non-judgmental support during the recovery process.
Scott's approach is deeply personal and empathetic. He spends a lot of time talking to people over the phone, guiding them through the maze of recovery options. His insights on staying sober, especially on tough days, are both practical and inspiring. He stresses the importance of community and finding support from those who have walked the same path. If you're grappling with addiction or know someone who is, Scott Kindel's story offers a powerful message of hope and resilience.
Tune in to hear how determination, support, and the right resources can pave the way to a healthier, sober life.
