David's Journey: From Dry Drunk to Thriving in Recovery

I think the important thing that you've told the listeners Today too is that that is all possible, but the minute that we stop engaging in our recovery and aren't really participants in our recovery, we will not get the same result absolutely.
Imagine losing everything even after you've quit drinking. That’s David’s story. Living in Kentucky with his wife and two kids, David opens up about the challenges he faced even in sobriety. He didn’t just stop drinking; he became what’s known as a 'dry drunk'—someone who isn’t drinking but also isn’t truly recovering. The result? He lost everything that mattered to him. But this isn’t just a tale of loss; it’s a story of redemption and rebuilding.
David talks about the critical role the Twitter Recovery Posse played in his life, providing daily support and positivity that helped him turn things around. He discusses the importance of staying engaged in recovery and how connecting with others in similar situations can make all the difference. If you’re looking for a story that shows the ups and downs of recovery and the power of community, this episode is a must-listen.
