Substance Abuse effects us all! Whether it is our own struggle, family member, friend, co-worker or all of the above, no one goes unscathed from the effects of these deadly diseases.
The large majority of people affected by ANY addiction have a mental illness as well that oftentimes is the real underlying cause of why they are using to begin with. “Self medicating” is what we all naturally do when we are hurting, confused, frustrated, angry or having other feelings we don’t know how or don’t want to deal with.
Jason Breitenfeld joined my business collaborative coaching program after I contacted him about the legacy he was leaving on his Facebook Page about his recovery process from being hit by a 4th time drunk driving offender. His story is both horrifying and inspiring but he was stuck with barely enough disability benefits to get by and ongoing surgical procedures that have made it impossible to do a “normal” job.
I talked with Jason about joining my program so I could help him find ways to share his story in a powerful and income generating way to change the lives of those who need to hear his story while being able to support himself. Jason took my coaching advice and has done tons of things he didn’t know he should or could do including designing his own website, starting a new focused facebook page, recording and editing videos and most exciting getting a book contract and writing a blog and a book that are getting him tons of followers.
Jason is my inspiration to focus the rest of 2015 on the effects of substance abuse in our society. We are beginning our trek by offering training, inspiration and support to those effected as well as facilitating systems. Many things need to change from treatment opportunities, alternatives to incarceration, housing, employment, family issues, crime related issues like drunk driving and so much more.
