We tend to just blame all our problems on- oh my god, it's the alcohol, it's this like. I don't have a drinking problem, you know. But, like man, we have to deal with all the stuff from our childhood.
Shane Ramer, the voice behind 'That Sober Guy Podcast', brings his candid story of recovery to 'The Addictive Pod'. For 17 years, Shane was what some might call a 'functional alcoholic'. He managed to keep his life together on the surface, but deep down, he was struggling. It wasn’t until he tried to quit drinking that he realized just how strong a grip alcohol had on him.
This episode dives into Shane's journey through treatment and his embrace of the 12-step recovery program. Shane doesn’t shy away from discussing the emotional battles that come with addiction. He talks openly about the fears that can paralyze someone in early recovery and shares how he managed to overcome them. One of the key takeaways from this episode is the importance of getting in touch with your emotions and understanding the underlying reasons for addiction.
Shane also touches on why some people leave AA and how finding the right support system can make all the difference. His story is a powerful reminder that recovery is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about finding a new purpose and passion in life. Childhood trauma and emotional abuse are also discussed, highlighting how these experiences can fuel addiction and complicate recovery.
Shane’s insights are invaluable for anyone looking to understand the complex nature of addiction and the transformative power of sobriety. Whether you’re in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a blend of raw honesty and hopeful inspiration that will resonate deeply.
