I didn't get the steps, I didn't get the traditions, I didn't get a spiritual awakening, but I did get a spiritual awakening because I got in contact with my actual soul.
Imagine starting life with a quarter of Valium in your milk bottle. That's how Robert's story begins. In this episode of 'The Truth About Addiction', host Ron Isherwood sits down with Robert, who has been clean for an astounding 42 years. Born into a family riddled with alcohol and drug abuse, Robert's early years were far from ordinary. His mother used to lace his milk with Valium to keep him asleep longer, setting the stage for a tumultuous childhood.
Both his father and grandfather were alcoholics, and the cycle of addiction seemed almost inevitable. But Robert defied the odds. By the age of 18, he made a life-changing decision to turn away from drugs and has stayed sober ever since. In this heartfelt conversation, Robert opens up about the turning points that led him to recovery and the 'suggested things' that have kept him on track.
He talks about the role of spirituality in his journey and stresses the importance of sharing the message of recovery. Robert's story is raw, authentic, and filled with valuable lessons for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. His reflections on the impact of addiction on his family and relationships offer a poignant look at the complexities of recovery. This episode is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of recovery.
Tune in to hear Robert's inspiring journey and find hope in his enduring strength.
