God Took Me to Las Vegas
My mission with the God Took Me to Las Vegas podcast is to save lives and allow the person to Reveal the Lifestyle Champion within them.There are many different types of recovery programs, they all are aimed at helping those battling substance use disorders to transition from being harmed to being clean and sober. Anyone who’s battling a compulsive or destructive behavior wants to be healthy and they desire to live a happy and productive life. Sadly, only 1 in 10 Americans with a substance use disorder receives treatment. Why?Because it’s not safe to come forward and admit your challenges. The stigma is fueling an American public health crisis and we need to “Crush the Stigma!”Substance use disorders are associated with discrimination and social disapproval – more than any medical condition. These same people are often isolated, outcast, and even imprisoned. Stigma isolates people, it discourages them from seeking help, and even leads some medical providers to resist delivering evidence-based treatment services.

Episode 127 – Aimee Eddy, author of her just-released book “Escape to the Garage”
Aimee Eddy is my first repeat guest on the Courageous Recovery broadcast. She lives in the Erie, Pennsylvania area and is very passionate about educating people about mental illness. She is also a powerful advocate for mental wellness and takes a strong stand against bullying.
Aimee is in recovery from major depression, anxiety disorder, borderline personality disorder, and self-injury. She is an insightful overcomer who advocates for others who are struggling with mental health and emotional balance in their lives.
She is a survivor, after conquering mental illness, bullying, cancer, and more, she’s passionate about sharing her life experience to encourage others via her writing. Her essays are in “Change Your Life” by Alexander Kovarovic and her book “Escape to the Garage: Family Love Overcomes Bullying” was released just a couple of weeks ago.
Some words of encouragement from Aimee that I really enjoy are these: “Climb out of the dark hole and into the light. Dance, rejoice, and stand within the light of recovery from mental illness and breast cancer.”
