But without that step one, like you said, without accepting the fact of where you're at, you can't heal, you can't get better and you can't grow, and you can't, you can't start a new season of life if you don't accept where you're at right now.
Imagine hitting rock bottom, then climbing your way back up to a life full of purpose and adventure. That's exactly what Derek, founder of Young Alcoholic, has done. In this episode of the Alcoholic Entrepreneur Podcast, host Justin Balunsat sits down with Derek to explore his decade-long journey of sobriety. They dive into the gritty details of Derek's drinking history and the transformative power of 12-step recovery programs like AA and Celebrate Recovery.
Derek doesn't sugarcoat the initial fear and intimidation of walking into those rooms, but he passionately shares how these programs have been lifesaving for him and countless others. One of the key takeaways from their conversation is the importance of accepting your current situation to move forward. Derek's story is not just about getting sober; it's about embracing a new lifestyle that includes joy, travel, and entrepreneurship.
His platform aims to shatter the stigmas surrounding addiction while promoting a fulfilling, sober life. If you're curious about how sobriety can coexist with entrepreneurial success or looking for a dose of inspiration, this episode is a must-listen.
