And for me it was just a number of relapses. It just got to the point to where, if I had any doubts in my mind about addiction being a disease of the body and the mind- and that's important- it's a disease of the body and the mind, meaning that it gets worse and worse and worse, and it never gets better.
Ever wondered what it takes to truly overcome addiction? In this heartfelt episode of 'Recovery Is Possible', Michael Van Meter opens up about his own journey to sobriety. From his days as a U.S. Navy helicopter pilot to his role as an FBI agent, Michael's diverse career has given him a unique lens through which he views addiction and recovery.
