This week, the podcast will focus on the second part interview with Rene St. Pierre III about healing and discovering yourself after drug addiction…
I’m Rene. Born and raised on the North shore of Boston, I grew up surrounded by a loving family, played 3 sports, had a ton of friends and yet, still ended up addicted to opiates!
Long story short…I was your typical all American kid. I had two parents, lived in a nice house in a nice neighborhood with a close knit family. From the outside looking in it looked like I had it all. Well I did but also behind those walls was a hurt little boy. I experienced trauma as most people do, and was a sensitive kid who never learned how to process his emotions. I developed coping skills to deal with the emotions and trauma which turned out to be drugs and alcohol. I spent the better half of my twenties and thirties in and out of treatment centers trying to find a cure. A way to heal. I tried it all – I did and redid the 12 steps more times than you could count and I still relapsed. I was still broken and needed a way out.
About three years ago I found the solution for me. It wasn’t in writing about all of my resentments , or saying I was powerless. It was about trusting and listening to my intuition which told me a long time ago this approach to treatment didn’t make sense. I refused to accept I was powerless, that I was not in control of my own life, or that I would end up in one of three places-jails, institutions, or death. So I went on a journey to heal my mind, body, and soul from a holistic perspective. I did this through meditation, energy work, body work, yoga, reprogramming my subconscious beliefs, getting to the root causes, discipline, determination, surrounding myself with successful people, law of attraction, shifting my perspective, and many other healing modalities. I had the answers all along. I was the power, I had a choice. But I had to do the work. It wasn’t because I was prescribed opiates 25 years ago as a senior in high school. It wasn’t because that girl dumped me or I had a bad day. It was because of the underlying trauma I have lived with and just kept covering up over and over again with these substances. I finally started to do the work, and put one foot in front of the other to find the space to heal and to begin that journey to becoming whole and That’s where I can help you. If the old “tried and true” 12 step method hasn’t worked for you well I can relate. I can hold the space for you and teach you the tools to trust your own intuition to find your path to healing and help you find peace, comfort, and freedom within yourself.
