From War Zones to Healing: Jim M.'s Path to Sobriety

I tell people- and I know you do as well, Jim, stay the hell away from it.
Jim M. has faced more than his fair share of battles. A Vietnam Veteran and former Police Officer, Jim's story is one of resilience, trauma, and ultimately, recovery. In this episode of 'Recovery Is Possible', Michael Van Meter sits down with Jim to discuss his journey from the depths of alcoholism to finding a new lease on life. Jim opens up about the scars left by war and the personal trauma of sexual abuse by a priest.
These experiences led him down a dark path, but his story doesn't end there. Through sheer determination and support from AA meetings, Jim found the strength to turn his life around. He talks candidly about the importance of staying away from triggers and how peer support played a crucial role in his recovery. Jim's message is clear: no matter how tough the journey, recovery is within reach.
Tune in to hear his inspiring tale and gain insights into the power of community and commitment in overcoming addiction.
