The Kid From the South Bronx Who Never Gave Up with John Giordano
Today we are speaking with Author and Addictions expert, John Giordano. John has gone through incredible life transformation, from the stigma of childhood sexual abuse, homelessness and severe addiction to being a renowned addiction expert with 36 years of sobriety.
He started his own holistic treatment center with only $300 which he eventually sold for $45,000,000. Currently he is a published author of 3 books, including his latest book 'The Kid From The South Bronx Who Never Gave Up' and is the Chaplain for the North Miami Police Department.
In this episode we discuss:
1) Why there is only a 5-8% recovery rate for the typical addiction treatment programs. John breaks down lots of details on the current models and why he created a different recovery model that didn’t exist at the time.
2) TRT, Trauma Release Technique, that John created to help support people through their traumas to create long lasting change.
3) The resilience factor and how no matter how many challenges John faced, he chose to never give up. His mission and purpose became so much larger than him and he continued to set out to support others in dealing with their addictions.
