ASP016: Aaron shares his story – from abusing heroin & meth to helping others

Show Notes for this episode are at addictionsupportpodcast.com/episode16

Overview:

Aaron, thank you so much for coming out and allowing yourself to be so open and vulnerable on your birthday!  And now it’s going live on my birthday!  How cool is that!?!?!

My guest this week is Aaron Sorenson.  Aaron vulnerably shares his journey from growing up with an abusive, alcoholic father and schizophrenic mother.  He shares how his brother committed suicide after his girlfriend was caught cheating on him.  And his darkest moment when he solicited his sister for sex.  

Today he’s made amends for his actions.  Even though he thought it was the worse thing ever, he now thanks God every day for the day he got arrested.

Aaron now believes in God and is so thankful for his higher power.  Today, Aaron works with people in their early stages of recovery.  He trains on emotional life skills – that so many people need. 

Thank you for Listening!

Discover tips and tricks on how we can keep ourselves healthy when we are in a relationship with an addict. You can also hear from holistic health and wellness professionals that share insight into keeping yourself well. Although Melissa confesses she does not have it all figured out, through the help of seminars, life coaches, and wellness professionals she has been able to work through her feelings of sadness, guilt, and shame associated with having two younger brothers struggle with drug addiction. After one brother passed away, she decided that his death would not be in vain. Only recently after watching Johann Hari's Ted Talk: Everything You Know About Addiction is Wrong did she decided to take action by focusing on inspiring hope and change by providing love and support to friends and family members of addicts. “Be the change you wish to see in the world” - Gandhi
