It's about initially finding a place that is going to support you and help you do the work to get the results and then keep doing the work to keep the results.
What happens when a young boy introduced to alcohol and drugs at just 9 years old decides to turn his life around? In this episode of the Recovery Media Podcast, hosts Louis Iacona and Jim Grant sit down with Guy Fitzgerald, who has been sober since 1988. Guy opens up about his turbulent youth, marred by substance abuse, anger, and a loss of passion for sports and school.
Growing up in a family where addiction was common, his struggles went unnoticed until college. Beneath it all was a deep sense of shame about himself. Guy's story is a testament to the power of hitting rock bottom and making the choice to change. He talks candidly about the evolution of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and the different approaches to achieving sobriety.
His journey emphasizes the importance of finding a supportive environment and putting in the hard work to see results, and then continuing that effort to maintain them. Guy also shares how his love for music and other passions have played a crucial role in his recovery. His infectious enthusiasm and unwavering commitment to sobriety offer hope and inspiration to anyone facing similar challenges.
Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and encouragement.
