If I just put a fraction of that drive and that willingness to connive and get drugs and alcohol into my program, oh my god, you know I'll be over the moon and that's just a place that we have to get to.
What does it take to turn a life of addiction into one of hope and service? In this episode of 'The Sober Unicorn', host Holden S chats with David, who opens up about his battle with alcohol and opioids. David's story isn't just about addiction; it's about the resilience and support he found within the LGBTQ+ community and beyond. David grew up with parents who were part of the recovery program, so he had some early exposure to its principles.
However, it wasn't until he faced his own struggles that he truly understood its importance. He talks openly about his relapses and how hitting rock bottom multiple times pushed him to take his recovery seriously. A pivotal part of David's journey is his relationship with a higher power. Unlike the rigid religious views he grew up with, David's faith now is about love, forgiveness, and support.
This spiritual shift has brought him peace and a sense of purpose that he never thought possible. Service has also played a crucial role in David's recovery. He shares how being of service to others has given him a sense of fulfillment that he once sought through substances. From making coffee at meetings to sharing his story at rehabs, these acts of service have become a cornerstone of his sobriety.
David's journey is a testament to the power of community and faith. He emphasizes that there's always a place for everyone in the recovery program, especially those who might feel judged or marginalized. His message is clear: don't be afraid to seek help and find your tribe. Tune in to this heartfelt episode to hear more about David's inspiring path to sobriety, his evolving faith, and the joy he finds in helping others.
