Your mindset can change everything.
In this episode of From Survivor to Thriver, we sat down with Joseph Kajy. He battled drug addiction, depression, suicidal thoughts, and prison before he learned about the power of a positive mindset which changed his life for the better.
When Joseph Kajy took opioids for the first time at the age of 15, he thought he had found his life’s calling. From there, his world altered into a grim whirlwind familiar to many a drug addict.
He woke up every morning with either one of two questions on his mind: How will I get money for drugs? When will I do drugs? Behind him, he left a trail of destruction that included 37 felonies, two prison sentences, cut family ties, and a rock bottom where suicide seemed like the final solution.
Today, Joseph has over 5 years of sobriety under his belt. He is a husband, father, and Founder of Top Fence, a residential and commercial fencing contractor which currently generates over 4 million dollars in sales.
He is now on a life mission to share his story as a way to give hope and inspiration to anyone who feels they have demons in their closet and monsters still under the bed.
In today’s episode we cover:
- The power of journaling
- The pain of changing vs. the pain of staying the same
- The book that changed his life
- Why you can’t ignore your pain
- How positivity became Joseph's new drug
- Fear as motivation and inspiration
- The importance of vulnerability
- What to do if you know someone struggling with drug addiction
