James Love the Destroyer on Recovery Now with Kim Justus

Fifteen years ago Phil White couldn’t use a fork or even speak after having emerged from a heroin overdose induced coma.  When he awoke, it was discovered he had suffered catastrophic damage to his brain. But this month after years of rehabilitation, Phil has published his first book  James Love the Destroyer. www.facebook.com/jameslovethedestroyer Writing is a talent he has had since high school, but he feared it was lost after his drug overdose, which left him with severe nerve damage in his leg, memory problems, and difficulty following complex step-by-step tasks. He credits reading, writing, and strong family support with helping his brain heal. “I think the brain can rewire itself and relearn to do things if rehabilitation trains new pathways to take shape to replace old ones. I want it to give hope to other brain injury patients that they can recover." This show is a gathering place for anyone seeking recovery from the challenges of life on life's terms. I introduce topics, and survivor's share their experience, strength and hope. We discuss useful tools that have helped us lighten the load, of our journey through recovery. More will be revealed! Tune in, stop in and call in. This is a "we" recovery program, because it is in the "we," that we find the new "me." We focus on the four A's of Recovery: Awareness, Acceptance, Action and Adaptation. This is a place for survivor's striving to become thrivers. The front half of show is a featured guest. to join us in the discussion. The second part of the show is Open Mic and some great Indy Music, sure to inspire!
