Asking for help, it was just like recognizing that I actually needed the help, cause I didn't think that I had a problem for a long time. I genuinely didn't think that I had a problem. And then, when it started to hit me like, what are you doing with your life?
Nick Lowry's story is a testament to the power of recovery and the pursuit of happiness. In this episode of 'Sobriety Corps', host Kim Palombo sits down with Nick to chat about his transformative journey to sobriety and how it has opened doors to explore his true passions. Before sobriety, Nick never had more than a few days of continuous sobriety and felt aimless without any clear goals.
However, after his second rehab stint, he began to envision a future where he could follow his gut and intuition, leading him to a more fulfilling life. Nick candidly shares that while he is still figuring out his professional path, he now prioritizes happiness over a stable job with a cushy retirement plan. He talks about the challenges of planning for the long term but emphasizes the importance of focusing on what brings joy in the present moment.
Therapy has played a crucial role in Nick's recovery. He has spent considerable time in therapy, which has helped him stay busy, save money, and work towards his goals. Support from family and friends, especially his mother, older brother, and uncle, has been instrumental in his journey. Throughout the conversation, Nick offers valuable advice for those on similar paths. He stresses the importance of caring about self-perception rather than others' opinions and highlights the role of connection in maintaining sobriety.
Nick also shares his journey of letting go of shame and embracing his past without guilt. His message is clear: swallow your pride before it chokes you, and never hesitate to ask for help. This episode is an inspiring look at one man's journey to sobriety and the freedom it has given him to pursue his passions. Nick's story is a powerful reminder that everyone's recovery journey is unique, and it's never too late to start.
