From Meth Addiction and Arrests to Redemption and Renewal with Phillip "Flip" Kell
Manage episode 417318733 series 3555232
On this episode of Breakfast Choices, I'm joined by Phillip "Flip" Kell to discuss his inspiring journey of overcoming addiction and finding purpose.
Flip reflects on struggling with financial hardship as a youth but working diligently to afford nice possessions. He describes being introduced to methamphetamine and spiraling into addiction, facing legal troubles and relapses. After hitting rock bottom, Flip found solace in his faith.
We explore how past traumas like losing his sister and mental health issues like PTSD contributed to his addiction and relationship patterns. He emphasizes the importance of healing from wounds. Flip shares losing custody of his kids and discovering purpose through recovery communities online.
Flip believes addressing trauma holds the key to overcoming addiction long-term. Maintaining the right perspective and focus on mental wellness are central to his recovery process. Inspired figures like Trent Shelton have aided Flip's growth mindset. I'm grateful for him openly sharing his story to help others along their journey. I hope you can draw motivation from his story of turning pain into purposefulness.
From Rock Bottom to Rock Solid.
We all have them...every single day, we wake up, we have the chance to make new choices.
