It gave me such a purpose that I found something outside.
Imagine battling a toxic relationship with vodka for over a decade, only to find the strength to turn your life around. In this heartfelt episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', host Duane Osterlind sits down with Charlie Gray, who shares his gripping journey from alcoholism to recovery.
Charlie’s story, detailed in his memoir 'At Least I’m Not The Frog: A Zany Memoir of Alcoholism & Recovery', is a raw and honest account of addiction, relapse, and the hard-won road to sobriety. Growing up, Charlie faced the trauma of losing his mother, a pain that unknowingly steered him towards alcohol. For 11 years, he managed to maintain a high-functioning lifestyle while consuming alarming amounts of vodka.
It wasn’t until his body began to shut down that he realized he needed help. Charlie attended multiple treatment centers across the country, each step bringing him closer to understanding the root of his addiction. Through therapy and sheer determination, he discovered the strength to heal and find a purpose beyond alcohol. This episode is a powerful reminder that no matter how deep the struggle, recovery is possible.
If you or someone you know is grappling with addiction, Charlie’s story offers hope and underscores the importance of seeking help.
