Holden's Relapse and Recovery: Finding Strength in Sobriety

You have to be very mindful on who you surround yourself with, because the people that matter the most to you, the people that supported your sobriety, is not the people that I called. The person that didn't give two shits about my sobriety knew that I was sober and still put this substance in front of me is the one that caused my fall.
What happens when the person guiding others through recovery stumbles on their own path? In this episode of 'The Sober Unicorn', host Holden S turns the mic on himself to share a deeply personal story of relapse and the journey back to sobriety. As a mortician student, Holden was no stranger to death and grief, but the loss of his ex's sister sent him spiraling into a dark place.
His struggles with sex addiction and substance abuse only added to the weight he carried. Holden's candid account reveals the importance of reaching out for help and the dangers of toxic relationships. He reflects on the critical need for mindfulness in sobriety and the value of a strong support system.
'You have to be very mindful of who you surround yourself with', Holden shares, highlighting that those who supported his sobriety were not the ones he turned to in his darkest moments. This episode is a raw and honest look at the challenges of maintaining sobriety and the strength it takes to start over. Whether you're part of the LGBTQ+ community or an ally, Holden's story offers valuable insights and hope for anyone on a similar journey.
