Sobriety is possible through taking suggestions, and the opportunities are there. It's crazy because it works.
Imagine starting your journey to sobriety at the tender age of 12. That's Patricia's story, and it's both heart-wrenching and inspiring. In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, hosts Tom Conrad and Ben sit down with Patricia, a shining example of what can happen when you take all the advice given to you during treatment. Patricia didn't just attend meetings; she saw the freedom and happiness in others' faces and decided she wanted that for herself.
Her early drinking was an attempt to escape her feelings, leading to a vicious cycle of binge drinking and fear. After her third DUI and a tough breakup, Patricia hit rock bottom. She found herself in a motel room, drinking until she passed out, only to repeat the cycle the next day. Holding down a job at a bloodwork lab while working over 60 hours a week, she knew this behavior couldn't continue.
It was then that Patricia decided to act on every suggestion given to her in treatment. The results? Seven months of quality sobriety. She emphasizes the importance of hard work and facing cravings head-on. Patricia also touches on the challenges of maintaining sobriety outside a treatment setting and shares her experience with rehab romance. Her story is a testament to the power of taking suggestions seriously and putting in the effort needed for recovery.
Tune in to hear Patricia's journey and gain hope for your own path to sobriety.
