When you're talking about values and morals and looking for the fruit of the spirit, which was love and acceptance, and patience and long-suffering, and these things that the world tries to just give you and pretend, and they kind of counterfeit everything that god has for somebody- oh, just drink more beer, you'll get more girls if you just watch the television. And you know- and I feel like that's so much more of an empowering way to live- when you say: oh hey, you have a choice.
Ever wondered what it truly takes to break free from addiction? In this thought-provoking episode of Rewired Radio, host Erica Spiegelman sits down with author and speaker Marty Angelo to discuss his remarkable journey from addiction to a life of purpose and faith. Marty shares his raw and unfiltered story, starting with his arrest for cocaine possession in 1980, which became the turning point in his life.
He dives into the critical difference between mere rehabilitation and profound transformation, emphasizing that true freedom from addiction goes beyond just quitting substances—it's about a complete overhaul of one's values and spirituality.Throughout their conversation, Marty opens up about the hurdles he faced during early recovery, including the struggle to shed his former identity as 'party Marty'.
He also highlights the importance of education and coping skills, especially for young people who often face additional barriers like criminal records or limited opportunities. Marty's candid reflections provide a fresh perspective on the complexities of addiction and the power of a transformed life. This episode isn't just for those in recovery; it's for anyone interested in understanding the deeper layers of overcoming addiction.
Tune in to hear practical advice, heartfelt stories, and a message of hope that underscores the transformative power of sobriety.
