Corky's Journey: From Listerine to Lasting Sobriety

In recovery, all of a sudden I recognized a freedom that I never had, that I never had, even before I took the first drink, and that was instilled in me a profound gratitude.
Ever heard of someone hitting rock bottom with a bottle of Listerine? Corky's story is one for the books. He walked into MARR Addiction Treatment Centers not because he wanted to get sober, but because he knew he was an alcoholic. His blood pressure was off the charts at 220/140, and he was a self-described 'wreck'. For the first two months, all he could think about was getting drunk again once he left treatment.
But then something incredible happened: he found a Higher Power. After five grueling months at MARR, Corky emerged with a freedom he had never known, even before he started drinking. His recovery was like climbing out of a dark cave he didn’t even know he was in. What makes Corky's story so compelling is his profound gratitude for the path he took, despite its difficulty. He remains thankful every day for the transformation that began at MARR.
This episode sheds light on the importance of recognizing a Higher Power in recovery and the benefits of comprehensive treatment. Corky's journey underscores the value of ongoing support and connection in maintaining sobriety. While his path may not be everyone's, it stands as a beacon of hope and inspiration. Tune in to hear Corky's remarkable story and see how the miracle of 12 Step Recovery can lead to a life of newfound freedom and gratitude.
