Adam and Tony's Candid Stories of Overcoming Addiction
“What I've come to understand is that I need to become powerless, to become powerful, and that's understanding that I have no control over other people, places and things, which is when I want control.”
Imagine hitting rock bottom and then finding the strength to climb back up. That's exactly what Adam and Tony have done, and they’re here to share their remarkable journeys in this episode. Celebrating Adam's two-year milestone since entering residential treatment in Thailand, these two young men open up about the gritty realities of addiction and the transformative power of recovery.
They touch on how, in the early stages of sobriety, it’s often those around us who notice positive changes before we do. Through consistent, sober actions, they’ve started to rebuild trust with their loved ones—a crucial step in their recovery process. Adam and Tony also delve into the challenges of making amends and holding oneself accountable, which they describe as some of the toughest yet most rewarding parts of their journey. Adam’s mantra, 'It's big boy time.
Time to grow up', resonates deeply as they discuss the importance of living one day at a time and staying present in the moment.
