I just want everyone to know that every day is a gift and whether you have two days of sobriety, hours or years, it's one day at a time.
Imagine starting to drink in the fifth grade and by 14, you're already drinking with college kids. This was Philip Cargill's reality, growing up in an Irish Catholic home where his early exposure to alcohol quickly escalated to harder substances. In this episode of 'Hard Knox Talks: Sober Stories. Real Talk.', host Daniel Unmanageable sits down with Philip to unpack his journey from the depths of addiction to a life of meaningful sobriety.
Philip opens up about the pain he was masking with substance abuse and the pivotal moment when he realized he needed a change. Philip's story is not just about the 'war stories' of addiction but focuses on the steps he took to reclaim his life. He emphasizes the importance of support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and the role of literature in guiding him through recovery.
Community values also played a significant part in his journey, providing a moral compass even during his darkest times. Philip discusses how individualized recovery approaches, including medication, helped him find what works best for him. Throughout the conversation, Philip reminds us that every day of sobriety is a gift. His message is clear: take it one day at a time and share the gift of hope with others.
Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Philip's story offers valuable insights and inspiration. Tune in to hear how he navigated the rocky road to recovery and found a productive and meaningful life on the other side.
