It blew my mind that they were in that much of a hurry to get me out of there. I just knew a couple of people in the program. So, yeah, that turned me off to narcotics, anonymous or not, I'm sorry, alcoholics anonymous because of that experience, and it really fucked me up.
Ever felt like you're constantly living in someone else's shadow? Aaron W. knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of Podcast Recovery, he opens up about the deep-seated insecurities that led him down a path of addiction. Comparing himself to his successful brother, Aaron turned to alcohol and drugs as a way to cope. But it wasn't long before things spiraled out of control, culminating in a near-fatal overdose that served as his wake-up call.
Aaron candidly discusses how hitting rock bottom forced him to seek help and embrace a variety of recovery tools, including suboxone and Vivitrol. He also shares the joy and challenges of being a father in recovery, and how watching his daughter grow has become one of his greatest motivators.
If you're looking for a raw, honest account of the ups and downs of addiction and recovery, Aaron's story is a powerful reminder that no matter how dark things get, there's always hope.
