And that's really why I created this show is to show people that there is a life you know in recovery and beyond recovery, because we haven't been given this gift just to settle in life like we've been given this gift and this experience to help others create a life that you know.
Ever wondered how someone can turn a life of addiction into a story of hope and purpose? In this episode of 'You're Sober! Now What?', hosts Tamar Medford and Lane Kennedy sit down with Forrest Ferguson to explore his incredible journey from addiction to a fulfilling sober life. Born in Austin, Texas, Forrest's battle with alcohol and other substances began at the tender age of 12.
Feeling unloved and out of place, he struggled to find his footing amidst a challenging religious upbringing and lack of supportive friendships. Forrest shares how these early experiences shaped his path to addiction and eventually led him to seek recovery. But this episode isn't just about the dark times. Forrest opens up about the transformative power of humility, gratitude, and community in his recovery journey.
He discusses how these elements have helped him stay grounded and avoid relapse, even when the going gets tough. Forrest also emphasizes the importance of perspective, reminding us that sobriety isn't just about abstaining from alcohol; it's about creating a life filled with purpose and helping others along the way. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Forrest's story offers valuable insights into the long-term challenges and rewards of living sober.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation that will leave you feeling hopeful and motivated to embrace your own journey.
