I just felt like that was a guide rail, one step at a time, to get me to a point that I wanted to be, even though I didn't understand it because I couldn't do it for myself.
Imagine battling the grip of alcohol for decades, only to find a path to freedom later in life. That's Michael's story. In this compelling episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol', host Danni Carr sits down with Michael, a stone mason from Western Australia, to explore his tumultuous relationship with alcohol and his journey towards sobriety. Michael's drinking began at a very young age, and from the first sip, he found himself spiraling into uncontrollable bingeing.
Despite a period of living alcohol-free in Indonesia, a family tragedy pulled him back into the depths of addiction. For years, Michael endured wild partying, blackouts, and failed relationships. His addiction was so severe that it even caused part of his brain to atrophy. Yet, none of this stopped him until he reached a breaking point and decided enough was enough. With the help of the 12-step program and significant life changes, Michael has now been sober for four years.
He shares how upgrading daily habits and embracing the mystery of sobriety have transformed his life. This episode is a raw, honest conversation about the struggles and triumphs of addiction recovery. Whether you're seeking inspiration or practical advice, Michael's story offers a beacon of hope.
