You have to find someone who has your best interests at heart, someone who cares about you and will help you with your dilemma.
Imagine starting your day with the mantra, 'I'm going to save someone's life today'. That's how Rodney James, a peer recovery coach at Saint Agnes Health Institute, begins his mornings. In this episode of 'One Day at a Time: In Recovery in Baltimore', Rodney sits down with host Theo Hill to share his compelling journey through addiction and recovery. Having walked the difficult path himself, Rodney offers a unique perspective on the power of clarity in overcoming addiction.
His story is a blend of personal struggle, determination, and the unwavering belief in the importance of a supportive community. Rodney and Theo discuss the common pitfalls in recovery, such as denial and relapse, and the critical role of surrounding oneself with people who genuinely care. They also touch on family dynamics and childhood experiences that often influence addiction. If you're seeking inspiration or practical advice on navigating recovery, this conversation is a beacon of hope and practical wisdom.
Rodney's journey underscores the transformative power of self-discovery and the importance of extending a helping hand to others on the same path.
