I felt the hope and, I guess, the joy on The First Day of reading the book, but it was over time, The First Six To Nine Months, that I really realized the first step and that I was powerless.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn your life around after years of substance abuse? Kevin H. shares his gripping story on this episode of The Recovery Revolution. Starting at just 13, Kevin's journey through addiction began with drinking and smoking pot, quickly escalating to daily LSD and cocaine use by 18. His life spiraled out of control, marked by multiple arrests and paranoid delusions fueled by hallucinogenic drugs.
He even became the only white member of an all-black soul band, a testament to the chaotic twists his life took. But Kevin's story isn't just about hitting rock bottom; it's about the incredible climb back up. After waking up from a blackout and finding an AA Big Book on the floor, he took his last shot of tequila and read the book cover to cover. That moment marked the beginning of his transformation.
Now, with 28 years of sobriety under his belt, Kevin's tale is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit. This episode isn't just for those battling addiction; it's for anyone seeking inspiration and hope. Kevin's candid recounting of his darkest days and his path to recovery offers invaluable insights into the power of community support and personal reflection.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply looking for a compelling story of triumph over adversity, Kevin's journey is sure to resonate with you.
