Michael Fehler's Path: Seven Years Sober and Counting

I feel like a lot of us are that get lucky, even though there's bumps in the road, and I consider it an honor, a duty to give back.
What does it take to stay sober for seven years, starting at just 25? Michael Fehler knows firsthand. In this episode of 'Stigmatized', Michael opens up about his journey from addiction to recovery. Despite a good upbringing, he found himself ensnared by addiction—a stark reminder that mental health issues don't discriminate. Michael's story is unique in that he places no blame on external factors; his path to recovery was one he carved out on his own.
He talks about the importance of personal responsibility and how he overcame the hurdles without pointing fingers. His narrative is a powerful testament to the idea that anyone can find themselves battling addiction, but recovery is possible. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration or understanding of the complexities of addiction and mental health. Whether you're struggling yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply looking to broaden your perspective, Michael's story offers valuable insights and hope.
