Man, that's going to be the reward, such that it just drove everything for me. And, uh, and a person that lives like that can't really be grateful for those moments of work and family and just living, because the real life is happening when you take that first sip.
What happens when life's hardships push you to the brink, but you find a way back? Alex R. knows this journey all too well. In this episode of Recovery Edge, Alex opens up about his path to nearly three years of sobriety, filled with moments of heartache, humor, and healing.
Hailing from Denver's Happy Trudgers group, Alex's story starts with the painful loss of his grandmother to a drug overdose, a tragedy that set the stage for his own struggles with addiction. As he recounts his descent into heavy drinking, culminating in a DUI that served as a stark wake-up call, Alex's narrative is both raw and relatable. He shares how attending AA meetings has been a cornerstone of his recovery, especially during the isolating times of the pandemic.
Through it all, Alex's message is clear: hope and gratitude can emerge even from the darkest places. His candid reflections on family dynamics, personal loss, and the power of community offer invaluable insights for anyone facing similar battles. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Alex's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
