Addiction: Severing the Lifelong Bond for a Sober Future

When it comes to an addict, your pact is made with whatever you're addicted to till death. For those of us who escape the slavery of our addiction, that is, we put away the drink, the drug or the other vices, we decide that our life is worth saving and we must slay our demons.
Imagine feeling like you've made a vow with your addiction, a bond that feels as unbreakable as a marriage promise. In this episode of 'Sober Leadership', Matt Adams opens up about his personal battle with addiction and the profound impact it had on his life. The episode kicks off with a poignant reading of Merritt Malloy's poem 'Epitaph', setting a reflective tone on the fleeting nature of life and the urgency to live it fully and soberly.
Matt shares raw stories from his own journey, revealing how his addiction to alcohol and drugs led him down a perilous path filled with risky behaviors and deceit. He paints a vivid picture of how addiction doesn't discriminate; it doesn’t care about the good in your life or the people you love. It's a relentless force that demands everything from you. But Matt’s message is clear: life is too precious to be wasted under the cloud of addiction.
He encourages listeners to break free from this destructive vow, stressing that sobriety is a battle worth fighting every single day. With heartfelt advice and unwavering support, Matt reminds us that reclaiming your life from addiction is possible. Tune in to hear Matt's compelling story and find the encouragement you need to take the next right step towards a sober and fulfilling life.
