Christian's Path: From Addiction to a New Beginning
Sit down with somebody that has More Than A Year. At least get there to sense and be honest with them. Like now, this is a lifelong thing, you know, and, like you said, it's One Day and sometimes one hour at a time.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn your life around after years of addiction? Christian, now 45, shares his deeply personal story in this episode of 'Stories of Addiction'. Starting with early experimentation with alcohol and weed, Christian's substance use quickly spiraled out of control. At his lowest point, he was living in his truck, unable to even walk into a store to buy more booze, relying on strangers to bring him alcohol.
His life was a chaotic mess of DUIs, a broken marriage, and a sense of hopelessness. But something clicked for Christian. He decided enough was enough and embarked on the challenging road to recovery. For over a year now, he's been living at the Gault House Sober Living Environment, steadily rebuilding his life. Christian talks openly with host Paul Noddings about his darkest moments and the crucial steps he took towards sobriety.
He highlights the importance of taking things one day at a time and leaning on a support system of people who understand the journey. His story is raw, real, and a powerful reminder that it's never too late to seek help and change your life. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that might just give you the push you need.
