S2, Ep8: "Post-Traumatic Purpose" w/Adam Carroll (Vancouver, BC) *Former Drug Dealer, Sober 9 Years*

Clubbed in the head, abducted, and tortured: this is the stuff of Hollywood stories, but it was all too real for Adam Carroll.

Even crazier: it all happened before he was able to legally buy a beer.

At the age of 15, Adam was kicked out of high school for dealing everyday drugs, but it didn't take long for him to get in way over his head.

You'll only believe what happens over the next several years because Adam has such a huge, genuine heart.

After getting sober the day after his 21st birthday, he spent time healing physically, mentally and spiritually throughout his twenties.

Adam emerged from many diagnoses including PTSD (a "disorder") into what he calls "post-traumatic purpose," which in his case means a calling to help others learn the tremendous benefits of breathwork, an approach to breathing that refocuses your body and mind on stable, steady living.

By hearing Adam's harrowing life story, you'll leave this episode encouraged to persevere in your sober journey -- but you'll also have a practical example of breathwork to add to your sober toolkit for all sorts of issues from cravings to anxiety, depression, or any challenging life situation.
