Eric's Double Recovery: The Power of Inner Work and Community Support

The stuff that I learned in aa saved my life and it. And I think that is where I'm going to end.

On this episode of 'QUALIFIED', Eric opens up about his battles with alcohol, pot, heroin, cigarettes, and Hepatitis C. What makes his journey particularly compelling is that he has undergone not one, but two recoveries. The first time he got sober, he managed to stay clean for six years before relapsing.
It was in his second attempt at recovery that Eric discovered the profound impact of group support and spirituality. He emphasizes that working on your insides—addressing your mental and emotional health—is crucial for lasting sobriety. Eric's candid and heartfelt narrative offers a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction. His story underscores the importance of community and personal growth in the path to recovery. Tune in to hear Eric's full interview and find inspiration in his unwavering resilience.
