"I always knew there was a god, but I was angry at god, and I don't tell this story to too many people. And once again, I was still angry at god."
Growing up in a typical farming household in Ohio, Phillip 'Woody' Wood always dreamt of a different life. He found it in the Army, where he built a remarkable 27-year career with multiple deployments. But after leaving the military, Woody faced a series of personal challenges that led him to turn to alcohol as a coping mechanism.
This episode of 'THE COMEBACK: Stories That Inspire' features Woody's raw and honest account of his battle with addiction and his journey towards recovery. Woody’s story is a powerful reminder that even the strongest among us can face dark times. After hitting rock bottom, Woody found solace and support in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), where he began to rebuild his life.
Through the process of making amends and developing a personal spiritual connection with God, Woody was able to let go of his anger and find peace. Starting his own business provided Woody with both purpose and new challenges. While it initially gave him direction, it also contributed to his struggles with addiction. However, through his recovery journey, Woody discovered the importance of humility and faith, ultimately finding redemption and a renewed sense of purpose.
Woody's story is one of hope, faith, and resilience. It's a testament to the power of recovery and the possibility of finding light even in the darkest times. For anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Woody’s journey offers a beacon of hope and a reminder that recovery is possible.
