Former Program Participant - Episode 282: The Next Right Thing with Dan O’Gorman

On this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna brings you another story from our special former participant series where she extends the opportunity for former participants who feel comfortable sharing their journey with others. Today’s former participant is Dan O’Gorman. Dan grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and fell to addiction as a teen. While attending a handful of outpatient treatments, as well as a short stay at a residential center, it took a near death experience for him and his parents to realize the magnitude of the situation and to implement more extreme measures. Dan explains that his sobriety began out of guilt, but it has lasted because of his community connection, grit and the realization that not only was it possible for him to succeed, but that he finally wanted it for himself. He shares the enlightened advice he would give to his younger self, now on the other side of addiction – which is both inspiring and useful to those listening who also struggle with substance use. This is an uplifting and powerful episode you don’t want to miss. NOTE: The podcasts in this series can include sensitive subjects such as suicide, self-harm, substance abuse, hospitalizations, psychotic episodes, and other traumatic experiences which include parts of the treatment journey. No topic is off limits and not all stories are positive but they are real, raw, and transparent.**Listener discretion is advised**Dan’s Resources:Skyline Recovery Connect with Joanna Lilley  Therapeutic Consulting AssociationLilley Consulting WebsiteLilley Consulting on Facebook Lilley Consulting on YouTubeEmail [email protected]#TherapeuticConsulting #LilleyConsulting #successful #youngadults #TherapeuticPrograms #therapy #MentalHealthMatters #podcast #PodcastCommunity #StudentMentalHealth #TheJourney #SuccessIsSubjectivePodcast #TheUnpavedRoad #PFCAudioVideo #sobriety #soberlife #sobrietyjourney #recoveryisworthit #addictiontreatment #meninrecovery #SkylineRecovery
