Welcome to another episode of "Breakfast of Choices". I have Guest James Low with me today on the show. James opens up about his difficult journey of overcoming addiction and childhood trauma to find mental freedom. He got real about the neglect and abuse he experienced as a child and how that led him to people-pleasing behaviors and eventually drug use as a way to escape painful emotions. James shared his story of active addiction, from doctor shopping to heroin and his desire to get clean before getting arrested. He also discussed his experiences with various rehab programs and how they helped him start to address the root causes of his struggles.
James detailed his ongoing personal growth journey, from learning to process emotions in a healthy way to aligning his gut health and mindset. His gut health journey led him to join Amare, which focuses on the gut-brain axis. He also found alternative therapies like Emotion Code particularly impactful in releasing trapped emotions from past trauma.
You’ll be inspired by James' daily choices over the past 13 years to face adversity through small goals and personal reflection rather than perfection. I hope his story provides hope and practical tools for anyone dealing with mental health issues or addiction who wants to transform their life through self-awareness and healing.
From Rock Bottom to Rock Solid.
We all have them...every single day, we wake up, we have the chance to make new choices.
