Wow, man, it's mind-blowing really, because it starts so low and ends so high... And what a great thing that GE is doing and offering.
Imagine turning your life around from the depths of heroin addiction to becoming a corporate manager at a major corporation. That's exactly what Cory Murphy did, and he shares his incredible journey on this episode of 'The Recovery Revolution'. Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Cory’s life took a dark turn when he was prescribed morphine for a high school football injury. The pain relief quickly spiraled into a love for the high, leading him down the path to heroin addiction.
Hitting rock bottom, Cory made the life-changing decision to get clean and pursue an education. He didn't just stop at getting clean; he went on to study abroad multiple times, learn several languages, and graduate at the top of his class from the University of Cincinnati's Carl H. Lindner College of Business. Today, he works in management at one of the largest corporations in the world. But his journey wasn't easy.
Cory talks about his time in Scientology, a religion he joined during his recovery. He describes the rigorous training and study required to become a licensed minister and how it played a role in his recovery. Though he eventually left the church, he credits his relationship with God as a crucial part of his healing process. Throughout the episode, Cory emphasizes the importance of a strong support system.
His mother and a family friend were instrumental in helping him get clean and stay focused on his goals. He also discusses the mental health impacts of addiction, stressing that it is a disease needing proper treatment and support. Cory’s story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible and that you can achieve great things even after hitting rock bottom. Tune in to hear how he transformed his life and find inspiration for your own journey.
