***Due to some technical issues when recording, audio on this episode can be somewhat poor at times. We apologize and thank you for your patience.
Let’s be real. In most cases, there were moments, in the beginning, when it was fun. By “it” I mean, the drinking and the drugging. But…. was it really? Or were we ALWAYS seeking an escape and self sabotage?
This week’s episode, we’re asking just that: Was it ever really fun? In the end, it seems like what we were likely seeking then is the same thing we’re seeking now, albeit through alternative methods: connection. Tune in to hear the great conversation.
Connor, a local here in Utah, shared his story this week and inspired this topic. Hear how life quickly went from bad to worse and just how deep he would fall before he found solid footing in a 12 step program of recovery. Thank you for sharing your amazing story, Connor!
