Alcohol is not the problem, it's my mental health is the issue, and I'm just masking it through alcohol and other means.
Bill's story starts with a staged intervention by his family, urging him to take a break from drinking. What began as a 75-day hiatus turned into a year-long journey of self-discovery and mental health improvement. In this episode of 'Relapse and Recovery', Bill opens up about how he realized alcohol wasn't the root problem—it was his mental health. He was using alcohol to mask deeper issues, and it was time to face them head-on.
With the help of therapy and counseling, Bill learned to address his mental health, leading to a better, more fulfilling life. The Covid-19 pandemic added extra stress, but his newfound sobriety became his anchor. Bill underscores the importance of seeking professional help and acknowledging when you need it. His story is a testament to the power of sobriety in transforming mental health. Tune in to hear Bill's inspiring journey and how he navigated the challenges along the way.
