EP 108 - Rages-Riches-Rage with Scott Henderson

We Do Recover With Jared Miller

Guest Scott Henderson from Reno, Nevada joins counselor Jared Miller to share his journey of recovery. Scott shares memories of popping open beers for his father & sipping the foam off the top before taking it to him as early as age six. His own substance abuse dependency began with alcohol in middle school & turned into "whatever mind-altering substance I could get my hands on". During his adolescent years, Scott was in & out of behavior schools, rehabs, & hospitals. When he turned eighteen, he signed himself out of a youth home & became homeless in California until age forty-four! Scott shared it was the combination of his father disowning him & his criminal charges that led to his rock bottom. With the combination of a county drug court program, a twelve-step fellowship, & consistent clean time, Scott was able to rebuild his life one day at a time! He shared that he has been in recovery since 2014, today he is a sponsor, a dependable employee, a husband, a father, & a grandfather. Reflecting back on Scott's journey into recovery, I can't help but think man, if this guy can do it with everything he was up against, anyone can! We hope you enjoy episode 108.
