I need the reminder on a Daily basis that I'm an alcoholic addict who forgets every single day everything he learned The Day Before, and if I don't go to meetings, if I don't stay connected, if I don't do the things I'm supposed to, with program sponsorship and being sponsored of service, I quickly become a complete asshole, someone you do not want to be around...
Shane B. started his journey with alcohol at the tender age of 12, a decision that would eventually lead him down a dark path. By college, he was snorting cocaine and Ritalin, a habit that spiraled out of control when he moved to Seattle after graduation. In this gripping episode of The SHAIR Recovery Podcast, Shane recounts his tumultuous 8-year struggle with addiction and how he finally found his way to sobriety.
Shane's story takes us through his early experimentation, the chaotic years of drug abuse, and the pivotal moment when his business partners, desperate for change, reached out to his mother. This intervention led to Shane's uncle, a seasoned rehabilitation counselor, stepping in to save his life. Shane's candid reflections highlight the importance of family support and staying connected within the recovery community. He shares how daily reminders and active participation in meetings help him maintain his sobriety.
Shane's honesty about his ongoing challenges and the necessity of a strong support system offers hope and encouragement to anyone facing similar struggles. Tune in to hear Shane's powerful story and learn about the crucial steps he took to reclaim his life from addiction.
