Addiction Recovery: The Greatest Redemption Story with Keenan Williams
<p>One of the greatest lessons in recovery is that your past mistakes do not define you. You are not your mistakes, and you are not your past. Our guest, Keenan Williams, knows what it means to take responsibility for your actions and to decide to create a better life for yourself outside of substance use. </p> <p>In his youth, Keenan experienced trouble that led him down a path of drugs and crime, eventually landing him in prison. But that's not where his story ended. Rather than sitting in defeat, Keennan devoted himself to self-improvement through education. Despite his time in prison, Keenan took control of his life and future by focusing on his health and wellness and attending school. </p> <p>According to Dan Hunt, President of the Houston County Republican Party, "[Keenan] read more than two hundred books on etiquette, integrity, parenting, ethics, business and career success, he focused on becoming mentally, spiritually and physically strong. He began taking college classes in prison and earned a degree in air-conditioning and refrigeration." </p> <p>Now, Kennan is an entrepreneur, political activist, and motivational speaker who uses his past experiences to encourage and inspire others. In 2020, Keenan also served as the Texas Regional Director for President Trump. Talk about a redemption story!</p> <p>In his words, "I could not fathom that I'd be working for Donald Trump one day when I was in prison. When I told others I would be at the White House one day, they'd laugh because I'm from the side of the tracks that your parents told you to stay away from. Trump saw who I had become and didn't care about who I was."</p> <p>Be sure to listen in as Andrew, Keenan, and guest host, Archway Academy Recovery Coach Obadiah Pendeton, PRSS, RSPS, share the transformational power of finding a higher power and dedicating yourself to a life of meaning and purpose. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Topics Discussed:</p> <ul> <li><p>The Law of Subtraction</p> </li> <li><p>Understanding the underlying pain and trauma behind addiction</p> </li> <li><p>Why education is the key to success</p> </li> <li><p>Shifting the mindset from victim to victory</p> </li> <li><p>Bringing hope to prison inmates to set them up for future success </p> </li> <li><p>Honoring yourself and those around you</p> </li> <li><p>Why counseling is essential for positive transformation </p> </li> </ul> <p>Connect with Keenan Williams: </p> <ul> <li><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/keenan.williams.purpose/?hl=en">https://www.instagram.com/keenan.williams.purpose/?hl=en</a> <br></p> </li> </ul> <p>Connect with Archway Academy:</p> <ul> <li><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/archwayacademyhtx/">https://www.facebook.com/archwayacademyhtx/</a> </p> </li> <li><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/archwayacademy/">https://www.instagram.com/archwayacademy/</a> </p> </li> <li><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVBgxwG5CC6qBcJ3U6KcK5Q">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVBgxwG5CC6qBcJ3U6KcK5Q</a> </p> </li> </ul> <p>Contact Archway Academy:</p> <p>If you or a student you know needs help, visit the website, or call the number below to schedule a tour.
