#155 | The Withdrawal Experience | Ronny's Warstory

Have you ever wondered what it's like to go through withdrawal from opiates or alcohol? Have you experienced it first hand? To say the least, it’s a sobering up like none other and often times, can lead to some pretty monumental growth. But it sure doesn’t feel that way when you’re going through it!

 

Just ask Ronny. In Ronny’s warstory, you’ll hear how quickly drugs become an everyday occurrence in his life, once he decided to partake. From there, his use would have him bouncing between moments of brief pleasure followed immediately by drastic and disastrous consequences. Hear about how he committed crime in a black out and woke up in jail.  About how again and again rehab didn’t work because he didn’t care enough about himself to decide it was worth it. Nothing worked…. Until it did. 

 

Tune in to hear what it took to get past the fear and embrace a life he never expected. 

Thank you Ronny, for sharing your story!
