I never saw anything wrong with my behavior... I wasn't afraid to try anything and I did try darn near everything.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after decades of addiction? Michael McCoy's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the human spirit. In this episode of 'Sober Shares', Michael takes us through his tumultuous journey with alcohol and drugs, starting from his high school days where partying was the norm, to his college years that were a haze of substance abuse.
Despite a successful career as an executive for professional sports teams and in commercial real estate, his addictions spiraled out of control, leading to failed suicide attempts and a late start on his path to recovery at 54 years old. Michael's candid reflections reveal the grip of denial and the harsh reality of addiction. But his story doesn't end there. He found solace and strength in his faith and the support of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Now, with over four years of sobriety under his belt, Michael has dedicated himself to service work, particularly through his initiative, Chef to the Shelters, which provides meals to the homeless. His journey is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to change and that helping others can be a cornerstone of recovery. Tune in to hear Michael's inspiring story and find hope in the possibility of a new beginning.
