What if unresolved childhood trauma could be the root cause of your addictions? In today's powerful episode, we sit down with Mike G as he opens up about his first year of recovery at Fellowship House. Mike takes us back to his roots in Dunmore, a small football town, where the impact of his parents' divorce and his father's alcoholism left lasting scars. Listen as he shares how these early experiences shaped his feelings of inadequacy and responsibility, and how completing step four of his recovery journey helped him tackle these deep-seated fears head-on.

From experimenting with marijuana during a middle school basketball game to balancing sports and social life, Mike recounts his early substance use and its intersection with his athletic ambitions. Despite participating in programs like DARE, he found himself frequently blacking out and attending therapy sessions in high school. The narrative takes you through his college years, where opportunities in sports led him to new paths and challenges, including a stint playing football in Berlin. Mike's candid storytelling brings you into the highs of MDMA use and the harsh lows of addiction, culminating in a cubicle job that only deepened his despair.

Join us as Mike describes his transformative experience at Fellowship House, where supportive counselors and a conducive environment played crucial roles in his recovery. Discov
