Cory's Path: From Early Substance Use to Sobriety
“The only thing that had been able to help me stop drinking and stop getting high was going to meetings.”
Cory's story is a stark reminder of how early substance use can spiral out of control. He started smoking pot at just twelve and was drinking by thirteen. Despite setting a personal rule to avoid hard drugs, Cory found himself breaking it by the age of fifteen. His descent into addiction continued as he experimented with various substances, including cocaine, driven by peer pressure and the college party scene.
Cory's candid account reveals how deeply he sank into alcoholism and drug abuse, reaching a point where he felt utterly lost. However, his turning point came when he encountered sober individuals who inspired him to seek help. Through Alcoholics Anonymous and the 12-Step Program, Cory began to reclaim his life. His journey is not just about hitting rock bottom but also about the power of community and the courage to change.
This episode offers a raw, honest look at the challenges of addiction and the hope that recovery brings.
