You know, the amazing thing is, you know I'm a ninth grade dropout. Ok, so what happened was I just stopped going and nobody really seemed to notice, and I just kind of kept rolling with it and I didn't do much.
Picture this: a young man, fresh out of high school, dives headfirst into the navy and finds himself tangled in a web of booze and drugs. That's the beginning of Douglas Mallon's story. But it's far from the end. In this episode of 'The Drunkalogues', host Nick Morton sits down with Douglas to unpack his journey from addiction to a fulfilling life of sobriety.
At just 17, Douglas discovered the allure of alcohol and substances, leading to years dominated by obsession. However, his tale isn't just about the struggle; it's about the transformation that followed. Through prayer and surrender, Douglas found a way to break free from addiction's grip. Now, 25 years sober, he's a proud father and a published author. His conversation with Nick delves into the power of making amends and the strength he found in the sober community.
Douglas's story is a testament to the possibility of recovery and finding joy in helping others. If you're searching for a narrative filled with hope and practical insights on overcoming addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
