Luke Storey on Addiction, Sobriety, Plant Medicine and Healing Trauma

Luke Storey is the host of the highly popular The Life Stylist Podcast. He is also a writer and meditation/metaphysics teacher whose passion revolves around the topics of health, addiction, recovery and spirituality. 

 

Today Luke is a thought leader in the health and wellness space. But this wasn’t always the case. His history involves not only healing and recovery but  also tremendous pain,  trauma and addiction. His crippling addictions to multiple drugs including heroin and crack led him to living in a transient apartment building in Los Angeles self medicating with alcohol to handle the opiate withdrawal. It was also here that he decided to ask for help and change his life. Even though this moment was over 24 years ago and his life is dramatically different today, he still remembers those dark times vividly. 

 

Luke began using drugs when he was 8 or 9 years old as a way to escape from an unstable and abusive childhood. With hopes of being a famous rockstar, Luke found himself in Hollywood in the drug fueled music scene. His addictions and the progression of his self hatred eventually caught up with him leading him to the rock bottom moment I described earlier. 

 

One phone call led to Luke going to treatment and turning his life around. His redemption story has been driven by health, wellness, spirituality and courage. This along with Luke’s desire for self discovery and hunger for learning has led him to where he is today. Our conversation today unpacks Luke’s healing journey. We talk about why he used, how he made it out and the things he has struggled with in his recovery. He opens up about his experience with plant medicine and why it has been so helpful for him despite its controversial status in the recovery community.
