Chad Towersey: From Addiction to a New Life of Sobriety
As soon as I get sober and I start doing the deal, like all of a sudden, my life does get better, maybe not like through the roof right off the bat.
What happens when your first sip of alcohol seems to magically soothe a hidden anger inside you? In this episode of 'Let the Journey Begin', Jason and Alex sit down with Chad Towersey, a familiar face in Orange County, to unravel his compelling journey from a seemingly perfect childhood to battling addiction and finding sobriety. Growing up in Newport Beach with dreams of sports stardom, Chad's life took a drastic turn when he discovered alcohol.
That first sip offered him an escape, but it also led him down a dark path of untreated alcoholism. Fast forward to today, and Chad has over two years of sobriety under his belt. He opens up about feeling spiritually bankrupt during his struggle with addiction and how he's now genuinely connected with those around him. Relapse was part of his story, but daily self-care and striving for progress over perfection have been his keys to success.
He also shares how his priorities have shifted, especially as a father, and why support systems are crucial in recovery. Chad's story is a testament to the highs and lows of sobriety, but ultimately, it's a journey toward a better life.
