I cannot see myself doing this program, but really what it is is in MARR, you practice all these things: going to meetings, being vulnerable with people, being a contributing member of society again, and then it just becomes second nature.
Imagine soaring through the skies as a professional pilot while secretly battling an alcohol addiction. That's the gripping reality Nick faced. Despite his deep love for flying, Nick found himself unable to stop drinking, even risking his career by flying under the influence. In this episode of 'Stories of Recovery', Nick opens up about his struggle and the daunting fear of asking for help.
He felt immense pressure to maintain a facade of control, a common issue among professionals who believe they must have it all together. Nick's story is a powerful reminder that addiction doesn't discriminate and that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Discover how Nick found solace in MARR's professionals program, which provides a supportive environment for individuals to get the help they need without jeopardizing their careers.
Today, Nick serves as the alumni relations coordinator at MARR, using his experience to encourage others to stay connected and seek support. His journey underscores the importance of community and vulnerability in recovery. If you're grappling with addiction or know someone who is, Nick's story offers hope and a path forward.
