Gary Coffman: From Rock Bottom to a Life of Purpose

Wow, that's the exact three words that I said in the exact prayer that I said at 11:30 pm on October 9th, in Carlsbad, California, on a street called Acacia, and I looked in the mirror and I said: God, help me, and I haven't had any drugs or alcohol since then.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn a life around completely? Meet Gary Coffman, a man who hit rock bottom with his drinking and drug use but found a way out through faith and determination. In this episode of 'Sober Shares', Gary opens up about his childhood, the depths of his addiction, and the pivotal moment when he realized he couldn't continue down that path.
With raw honesty, he describes how a desperate plea to a higher power marked the beginning of his journey to sobriety. Gary's story isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about rebuilding a life filled with family, friends, and service to others. He talks about the importance of faith, the role of sponsorship, and the healing power of making amends. His long-term sobriety is a testament to the transformative power of hope and community.
If you're struggling with addiction or know someone who is, Gary's journey offers a beacon of hope and practical advice for finding your way out. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that underscores the importance of fellowship and spiritual growth in the recovery process.
