Trust the process, that's what I've always told myself, because there's some people that, in early recovery within Six Months, all of a sudden have a nice car- the perfect job. I look back and A Half Years and I just had to trust the process and not try to force things, because god had a plan and it was just not on my timing.
What if a sports injury could change your life forever? For Travis Whittaker, Vice President of Clinical Outreach at True Recovery, that's exactly what happened. In this episode of 'Chase the Vase', host Brock Bevell sits down with Travis to discuss his tumultuous journey from a promising athlete to battling a severe opioid addiction. It all started with a prescription meant to ease the pain of an injury, but it quickly spiraled into a life-threatening dependency.
Travis doesn't hold back as he recounts some of his darkest moments, including the self-destructive behaviors that almost cost him everything. He opens up about hitting rock bottom and the impact his addiction had on his relationships with his wife and son. But this story isn't just about the lows; it's also about the incredible highs that come with recovery. Through therapy, community support, and sheer determination, Travis has managed to stay sober for twelve years.
He shares the steps he took to rebuild his life and the ongoing process of maintaining his sobriety. His transformation is a testament to the power of addressing mental health and trauma as integral parts of recovery. Travis also talks about his work as an interventionist, helping others find their path to sobriety. He emphasizes the importance of community and the need for open conversations about addiction.
As he puts it, "There's so many people that are struggling...I love reaching out to those guys, those women who are living their sobriety out loud". Tune in to hear Travis's compelling story of hope, resilience, and the transformative power of recovery.
