A Grateful Addict Will Never Relapse
In this episode of Dopenly Honest, Zavian sits down with Micah, a man whose journey into recovery began at an age most wouldn't believe: fifteen years old.
Born to a mother struggling with addiction and given a week to live by doctors, Micah’s life began with adversity. From the complexities of adoption and the revolving door of the foster care system, Micah shares how he used violence and eventually drugs to "quiet the noise" of abandonment and trauma.
This episode dives deep into the daily "spiritual maintenance" required to keep 19 years of sobriety intact. Specifically, how an attitude of gratitude is key, a reminder that having "normie" problems is a blessing, and why, if we saw everyone else’s struggles, we’d quickly grab our own back.
This episode is dedicated to the memory of Steve Peyton.
