Welcome to another inspiring episode of Without Regret the Podcast. I'm your host Tamara. May is Mental Health Awareness month and Today, I am so excited to have an exceptional guest, Dr. James Flowers. Dr. Flowers grew up in a home marked by addiction, stepping into an adult role at a young age after the sudden loss of his father. This
early responsibility and the subsequent loss of one of his twin sisters to cancer profoundly shaped his life path.

 

Initially pursuing a degree in marketing and finance, Dr. Flowers changed course to align his education with his values and passion for helping others. His journey led him
to the Betty Ford Clinic, where he honed his expertise in addiction recovery.
With a distinguished career at several prestigious institutions, he eventually founded the J Flowers Health Institute in Houston, Texas. The institute is renowned for its unique, complex and comprehensive approach to recovery. 

In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Flowers is the host of the podcast Understanding the Human Condition, where he delves into the complexities of mental health and addiction with experts in the field. Join us as we explore his remarkable story and the unique insights he brings to the table in our discussion today.

Welcome to another empowering episode of "Without Regret," the podcast that brings you stories of triumph against all odds. I'm your host Tamara, and today's guest's
journey is nothing short of inspiring. 

Meet Ryan Gray, a graduate of the University of North Carolina Asheville (UNCA) with a degree in
literature. In 2016, he embarked on a path that led him to his current pursuit – a career in behavioral health as a peer support specialist and author of Twilight
in York, a creative non-fiction narrative of a short period in his life.

What sets Ryan's story apart is his unwavering resilience in the face of severe challenges.
Battling schizophrenia, depression, ADHD, and anxiety, he stands tall as a self-supporting individual – not just financially, but in every aspect of his life. Remarkably, Ryan has maintained this independence for 15 years.

But his journey is not one walked alone. Clean for 15 years, Ryan attributes his recovery to the support and encouragement he received from a network of compassionate individuals. Nurses, social workers, counselors, doctors, and sponsors all played a crucial role in his transformative journey. 

In this episode, Ryan opens up about his path to recovery, the hurdles he overcame, and the people who made a significant impact on his life. Get ready for a conversation
that sheds light on the strength that lies within and the importance of a supportive community. 

Stay tuned for a captivating conversation with Ryan Gray.
