EP 040 - I died for 3 minutes... my struggle with drug addiction and how I've turned my life around w/ Curtis Doyle Artwork

Comfort Via Discomfort

Real People. Real Stories. Real Vulnerability. The CVD podcast features stories of how people from around the world have gotten to where they are today. We strip down what we can see about them online to really understand what happens behind the scenes. We talk about the challenges, triumphs, traumas, and experiences that have shaped who they are today and contributed to what they've accomplished. We dive deep into understanding how they've embraced discomfort and vulnerability throughout their lives, how they've built the confidence to live authentically, and what advice they have for someone that either feels stuck in life or simply wants more. These episodes are meant to inspire you to build the life of your dreams one step at a time and to show you that you're not alone in your struggles. No matter where you are in life, even if you feel totally stuck, you can take a step forward and change anything you want by leaning into discomfort and vulnerability. The only way to be comfortable is to be uncomfortable first.

EP 040 - I died for 3 minutes... my struggle with drug addiction and how I've turned my life around w/ Curtis Doyle

July 03, 2023 • Adam Boismier • Episode 40

The Comfort Via Discomfort podcast is 1-year old! To celebrate this milestone and to honor all the guests and supporters of this show, we’re counting down the top 10 episodes from our first year.

Here is #1 with Curtis Doyle!

——

WOW! This one is intense... and dark, and eye opening, and hopeful, and inspiring, and emotional, and SO MANY other things.

In this episode, my friend Curtis Doyle takes us through his experience with drug addiction and recovery. From the first time he tried a Percocet in 2014 to overdosing on Fentanyl and dying for 3 minutes in 2020, and EVERYTHING in between.

Curtis really takes you into the world of what a human being dealing with this disease really faces. From the choices he made to the consequences of those choices, Curtis leans into vulnerability and shares ALL the details.

Today, he's been clean for almost THREE YEARS 🙌🏼 and has completely turned his life around. He went back to school for social work to help people with mental health and drug addiction issues and only has an internship left to complete!!

He's taking what he experienced and is using it to help other people, and it's truly inspiring!

… unfortunately, that's not the story for everybody.

Millions of people die every single year from drug and alcohol abuse and, as a society, we don't even talk about it. And we need to it. These are human beings. And this is a real problem.

The only way to normalize conversations like this is to have them over and over again and to have incredibly courageous people, like Curtis, share their story for others to hear.

My hope is that you listen carefully to this episode and embrace the discomfort of entering a world that you may know nothing about so you can learn something new that potentially changes your perspective ❤️
