183: The Real Talk Sessions Part 2 - Trials, Tribulations, and Near Death Situations

Near-Death Moments, Survivor’s Guilt & Finding Purpose in Recovery | Rock Bottom with Ryan (Real Talk Sessions Pt. 2)In part two of “Real Talk Sessions” on Rock Bottom with Ryan, Ryan and returning guest Amber discuss the dangerous, near-death situations they experienced during addiction and how normal chaos felt at the time. Amber shares stories of driving while using crack and cocaine, living in a San Francisco crack house, using counterfeit money, having a gun held on her in a drug den, and being thrown off a balcony where a doctor said she would have died or been paralyzed if not intoxicated. Ryan describes reckless drug use, drunk driving, hallucinations from alcohol, and a crash that nearly sent his car off a cliff. They talk about survivor’s guilt, isolating from family, spiritual experiences, learning to process feelings in recovery, and believing their darkest moments now fuel a purpose of helping others.00:00 Blizzard Crack Run00:28 Isolation Cycle01:04 Show Intro Sponsor02:14 Welcome Back Amber03:14 Mortality And Clean Time04:35 Chaos As Normal06:54 Tenderloin Crackhouse Week08:10 Counterfeit Cash Trouble09:10 Gunpoint In The Den11:36 Gangbangers Close Call14:44 Balcony Fall Survival16:42 Self Destruction Accidents18:56 Forever 21 Mindset19:56 Ancestors And Spirits20:55 Paranormal Basement Night24:09 Grandma Walks Through Wall26:58 Blessed to Be Here28:00 Alcohol Hallucinations29:19 Survivors Guilt Hits29:56 Near Miss Road Stories33:43 Reckless Driving Confession35:17 Amends and Letting Go36:30 Boring Life Gratitude38:45 Story Not Over42:23 Inside Job Recovery46:17 Purpose from Darkness47:25 Resources and Reach Out50:41 Closing Thanks
