I did not go to meetings all the time, I did not get a sponsor, I did not work the steps, the steps, and, uh, it was just a complete, uh, lack of effort on my, on me, and also a lot of the times, I would get A Few Months clean and then I would get complacent and think I was okay and think I didn't need these meetings.
Louie DiMonaco's story is one of resilience and transformation. Growing up in the Bronx, Louie faced a tough environment where fitting in was a constant struggle. As he got older, he turned to drugs to escape his problems, leading him down a dark path of addiction. In this episode of Recovery Radio, Louie opens up about his battle with substance abuse and his journey to sobriety, which spans an impressive 15 years.
His candid reflections reveal the immense challenges he faced, from multiple stints in treatment centers to the emotional and physical toll of addiction. Louie's journey wasn't a straight path; it was filled with setbacks and moments of complacency.
He admits, 'I did not go to meetings all the time, I did not get a sponsor, I did not work the steps.' Yet, it was through these experiences that he learned the value of continuous effort and the critical role of support systems. Today, Louie works as a treatment tech at Retreat Premier Addiction Treatment Centers, giving back to those who are on their own paths to recovery.
His story underscores the importance of commitment, not just to oneself but to a supportive community, whether that be family, friends, or professional help. Louie's reflections offer hope and inspiration to anyone grappling with addiction, proving that recovery is not just possible but achievable with dedication and support.
