Mike's Path: From Childhood Trauma to Sobriety

But from my experience, don't let the little things that are out of place, like the certain little things that like why you got in trouble That Day, like those certain little miracles that are happening, because I look back on all those and I wish that I could have made a different choice- which side of the trail I could take, and I never took those as warning signs.
Growing up in a tumultuous household, Mike's early years were marked by his parents' divorce and domestic violence. By the time he was twelve, he had already turned to alcohol as a way to cope, finding a sense of belonging among skateboarders and punk rockers. This episode of 'Stories of Addiction' takes you through Mike's raw and unfiltered journey, from his early struggles with heavy drinking to the multiple failed attempts at sobriety that included stints in rehab and jail.
Despite these setbacks, Mike's story is one of resilience and hope. Now four months sober, he shares how meaningful friendships and involvement in environmental activism have been crucial in his recovery. Mike's candid reflections on his past choices and the importance of recognizing warning signs offer valuable insights for anyone facing similar battles. Tune in to hear a story that underscores the power of community and the possibility of lasting change.
