Abraham Oros: Finding Daily Strength in Sobriety
Alcoholism is just a symptom of a much bigger issue going on in our lives.
Ever thought about what it takes to stay sober one day at a time? Abraham Oros, with over 20 years of sobriety under his belt, shares his personal journey in this episode of 'The Recovering Escapist'. He gets real about the misconception that simply not drinking will make everything better. Spoiler: it doesn’t. Instead, he talks about the hard work and daily commitment needed to maintain sobriety.
Abraham opens up about the mess his life was in once the fog of alcohol lifted. Family issues, work troubles, financial strains, and old religious hang-ups were just the tip of the iceberg. He credits the guidance from 'The Big Book' of Alcoholics Anonymous for helping him tackle these problems, but emphasizes that it wasn’t an overnight fix. It took continuous effort and recognizing the small blessings and mercies along the way.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that recovery is a daily journey. Abraham encourages listeners to confront what they’re escaping from and to address those underlying issues head-on. He also highlights the importance of spirituality and community support in finding peace and purpose. Whether you’re struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Abraham’s story offers valuable insights and hope. Tune in to hear how taking it one day at a time can lead to lasting change.
