I've got no negative feeling towards all those years of almost being a slave to alcohol. In a way, it keeps them from doing something worse.
What does it take to break free from the grip of addiction?

His story isn't just about the dark days; it's also about the hope and resilience that come with recovery.
Chris talks about how his childhood experiences influenced his addiction, but more importantly, how he found strength in his partner, family, and friends to turn his life around. He emphasizes the power of listening to others' recovery stories, which helped him feel less isolated and more connected to a community. For Chris, sobriety isn't just about abstaining from substances; it's about finding purpose and fulfillment in life.
He shares how mindfulness and spirituality have played crucial roles in keeping him focused and grounded. If you're looking for a story that combines raw honesty with inspiration, this episode is a must-listen.
