When I listened...I'm enough, and I think that's what I really took away, like I didn't need all this stuff, I didn't need these like chasing these relationships and quotes.
College is often seen as a time for parties and carefree living, but for David P., it was a battleground for sobriety. In this episode of 'Keep Coming Back: Real Stories of Sobriety & Recovery', host Mike S. sits down with David to explore his tumultuous journey through addiction, relapse, and ultimately, recovery. David opens up about the challenges he faced trying to stay sober in a college environment where alcohol was everywhere.
He candidly shares the setbacks of relapsing and the determination it took to get back on track. One fascinating aspect of their conversation is the discussion on anonymity. How do you handle questions from friends and family about your sobriety? David and Mike dive into the nuances of keeping one's recovery journey private while still seeking support. They also delve into the importance of the fourth step in recovery – making a searching and fearless moral inventory of oneself.
David explains how this step was a game-changer for him, helping him understand the root causes of his addiction and paving the way for genuine healing. Another poignant topic they touch on is the struggle to maintain a 'quiet mind' amidst life's chaos. David reflects on finding inner peace and stillness in a noisy world, a challenge many in recovery can relate to.
The episode wraps up with a powerful insight from David: 'When I listened...I'm enough, and I think that's what I really took away, like I didn't need all this stuff, I didn't need these like chasing these relationships and quotes.' Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, David's story offers valuable lessons and inspiration.
