You give up this little bit to get the self-respect and the respect of your family and to have a shot at being successful in life was kind of the math that I think kind of went through my head in that early sobriety, that first six months to a year.
What does it take to turn a life riddled with addiction into one brimming with hope and authenticity? Duke Rumely knows all too well. In this episode of 'Rooted Recovery Stories', Duke opens up about his personal battle with alcohol addiction and the transformative journey that led him to sobriety. His story isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about finding a genuine sense of self and purpose along the way.
Duke's experiences highlight the often-overlooked importance of community and support in maintaining sobriety. He talks candidly about the harsh realities of alcohol abuse and the pivotal role that service plays in recovery. Inspired by his own challenges, Duke founded Sober A.F. Entertainment, an organization dedicated to creating sober sections at events. This initiative aims to bridge the gap in day-to-day support for those choosing a sober lifestyle. Through Sober A.F.
Entertainment, Duke is not only advocating for sobriety but also fostering environments where people can enjoy social activities without the pressure of alcohol. This episode offers a heartfelt look at the power of resilience, community, and service in overcoming addiction. Duke's journey serves as a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with similar issues, showing that it's possible to build a fulfilling life after addiction.
