Over 200 lbs Overweight, Was Stuck—Until THIS Wake Up Call!

There are moments in life that change everything.
Not because they were planned. Not because they were part of some grand realization. But because they hit you so hard and so unexpectedly that you’re left with no choice but to listen.
This is one of those moments.

In one of the most vulnerable stories ever shared on the Good Living Now podcast, a guest opens up about the night everything almost ended—and the moment they realized they actually wanted to live.

A Familiar Feeling with a Deadly TwistI
t started like so many other nights. Pills. Fast food. Isolation. But this time, something was different. After years of struggling with substance use and emotional numbness, the guest describes a moment that felt distinctly different from other overdoses:
“I tried to stand up off my couch and as I did, it felt like I got stabbed in the right side with a hot knife and the entire right side of my body cramped. And I started to fall forward... I saw my vision going black.”
They were slipping. Fast. But it wasn’t the physical pain that stood out. It was the overwhelming emotional weight:
“I don't know what it feels like to die. But I know exactly what it feels like to believe you're dying with a life full of regret.”
That line stops you cold. Because many people can relate—not to overdosing, necessarily, but to living a life that doesn’t reflect who they are, or who they want to be.

When Survival Feels Like a Second Chance
The guest doesn’t know what happened between the blackout and waking up. But they remember shouting into the void, asking for just one more second. And when they opened their eyes again?
They were lying in a puddle of vomit. Surrounded by fast food wrappers. Pill bottles. On the floor. But alive.
And that’s when something surprising happened.

“Every cell of my body was just beaming with relief, which I found confusing… because I didn't think I wanted to live anymore.”
It turns out--something inside them did want to live. That deep, unshakable relief only existed because somewhere beneath all the pain, depression, and disconnection… was love. Love for something about themselves. Love for a life they hadn’t fully stepped into yet.

What We Can All Learn From This Moment
This story isn’t about glorifying pain. It’s about being honest.
It’s about waking up in the most literal and spiritual sense. About realizing how disconnected you’ve become—from your body, your values, your joy—and deciding that you don’t want to live like that anymore.

If you’ve ever felt like you were just surviving…
If you’ve ever felt like your life was missing something and you couldn’t quite name it…
If you’ve been on the edge of giving up—or if you’ve already given up and are trying to come back to yourself…
This is your reminder that something inside of you wants to live. Heal. Thrive.
You don’t need to hit rock bottom to change.
But if you’re there already, let this be your push to rise.

Let’s Talk About It
What are you holding onto that’s keeping you from healing?
What would you regret most if today was your last?
What would relief feel like for you?

    Contrary to what you may have been taught and told, you are worthy. Your value is not determined by how much you have or who likes or dislikes you. You are worthy because you are a divine original created by God. Now it's time to start treating our bodies and mind as it deserves.
