Allen C.'s Journey: From Darkness to a Brighter Tomorrow

I knew I'd lost the power of choice... I didn't know how to do anything without drinking. I didn't know how to date. I didn't know how to hang out with friends... and in the beginning, it's very lonely.
Ever felt like you've lost control of your life due to addiction? Allen C. certainly did. In this heartfelt episode of 'Keep Coming Back: Real Stories of Sobriety & Recovery', host Mike S. sits down with Allen, a long-time friend, to recount their tumultuous past and the path to a sober life. Allen opens up about his struggles with alcohol and drugs, including a chaotic vacation that underscored just how powerless he felt.
He candidly discusses the loneliness that often accompanies early sobriety, where even simple activities like dating or hanging out with friends seemed impossible without a drink in hand. But Allen's story is one of hope and resilience. With unwavering support from his family and the structured guidance of the AA program, he found his way out of the darkness.
He emphasizes that recovery isn't just about attending meetings—it's about fully engaging with the program, getting a sponsor, and committing to the steps. Allen also tackles common misconceptions about AA, stressing that true recovery requires more than just showing up; it demands active participation and dedication. This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone feeling lost in their battle with addiction. Allen's journey reminds us that recovery is achievable and that no one has to face it alone.
Tune in to hear his inspiring story and find solace in knowing that change is possible.
