I had started to listen to podcasts and listen to other people's stories before I got to a point where I needed to make a change. But I also recognize that even though I'm not that person doesn't mean that I don't have a problem.
Picture this: a blacked-out date night that serves as a wake-up call. That's the turning point for Ray, whose story of addiction and recovery is both harrowing and inspiring. Growing up in Montreal, Ray's childhood was a whirlwind of instability, marked by his parents' divorce. His teenage years saw him turning to alcohol, leading to frequent moves, university dropouts, and even dangerous escapades in Ethiopia. But it was that one fateful night that pushed him to seek help.
Ray didn't just stop at getting sober; he leaned into therapy and professional support, transforming his life in ways he never imagined. Now, he hosts his own podcast, 'Stack N Days', where he shares stories of other people of color who have battled and overcome addiction. This episode of 'Sober Motivation' dives deep into Ray's journey, offering a raw and honest look at the complexities of addiction and the power of recovery.
You'll hear about the pivotal moments that shaped Ray's path to sobriety and the strategies he used to stay on track. The conversation also highlights the unique challenges faced by the community of color in sobriety narratives, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking relatable and impactful stories. Whether you're on your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Ray's story is a powerful reminder that change is possible.
Tune in for an episode filled with hope, practical advice, and a genuine sense of community.
