I had the opportunity to create a god of my own understanding...and that was the first time I'd come face-to-face with a man of integrity, and it was very impressive to me.
What happens when reality TV star Jason Wahler and former biker gang member Pastor Pete Cropsey sit down with Dr. Drew? You get a raw and compelling conversation about addiction, relapse, and the long road to recovery. In this episode of 'This Life #YOULIVE', Wahler, known for his time on 'The Hills', opens up about his battles with addiction and the ups and downs of his journey to sobriety.
He’s joined by Pastor Pete, who shares his gripping story of drug abuse, jail time, and eventual spiritual awakening. Pastor Pete, now the senior pastor of First Love Church in Costa Mesa, has channeled his experiences into two novels, 'Dead Man Waking' and 'Eddie'. The discussion dives deep into the murky waters of the recovery industry, patient brokering, and the controversies that often surround addiction treatment. Both guests highlight the crucial role of humility and gratitude in their personal growth.
As Pastor Pete puts it, “I think the contagious nature of that narcissistic thing, the vein that seems to run through our culture...I feel like I have better resources to do that [combat narcissism]”. Whether you're on your own path to recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a heartfelt look at the power of resilience and the importance of finding integrity and spirituality.
