After Years, I've never felt like life was worth living until now, because I thought it was just all a big joke. You know, you know we live and we die, but you never find that in between what it really is meant to be.
Imagine starting your journey to sobriety at just 23. That's the story of Myles, who joins Tom and Adam on this episode of 'Real Recovery Talk'. Myles opens up about his struggles with addiction, which began in a broken home. His parents' divorce when he was six left him feeling isolated, and he turned to alcohol and drugs as an escape.
By the time he was a senior in high school, he was drinking heavily and had fallen in love with pot from the first try. His initial stint in treatment at 19 didn't stick because his heart wasn't in it, but now things are different. Myles is committed to his recovery journey, and he shares what has changed for him.
He talks about how a serious health scare due to alcohol was a wake-up call and how he's moved from feeling lonely to finding a sense of community. Tom and Adam provide a supportive platform for Myles to reflect on his experiences, emphasizing the importance of vulnerability and connection in recovery. This episode is a raw and honest look at the challenges of addiction and the hope that comes with taking recovery seriously.
