If I felt good, if I felt a rush, if I felt that something was intense, then life was good and feeling bad was not allowed.
Imagine hitting rock bottom at 19, finding hope, and then losing it all over again. That’s the story of Robert V., who takes listeners on a raw and emotional journey through 20 years of addiction, drug abuse, and alcoholism. In this gripping episode of The SHAIR Recovery Podcast, hosted by the empathetic Omar Pinto, Robert opens up about his early struggles with alcohol and how he initially found solace in Alcoholics Anonymous. But life isn’t always a straight path.
After 15 years of sobriety, Robert stopped attending meetings, disconnected from his support system, and relapsed spectacularly. His downward spiral led to a divorce, isolation, and even suicidal thoughts. Yet, in his darkest moment, a mysterious phone call became his lifeline back to recovery. Robert's story is a testament to the power of surrendering to a higher power and the vital role of sponsors in the recovery process.
He shares candidly about the importance of making amends and the profound impact of forgiveness. This episode isn't just about the struggle; it’s about the hope and redemption that come with recommitting to sobriety. If you’re looking for a tale that’s as inspiring as it is heart-wrenching, this episode is a must-listen. Omar Pinto's compassionate interviewing style brings out the best in Robert's story, making it relatable and deeply moving for anyone on their own recovery journey.
