When I accepted god into my life, when I handed it all over, it was as if I just had electricity installed and I just had to click the switch. And the stuff I have in me now I find it very, very difficult to explain.
Picture a life spiraling out of control, only to be saved by a moment of surrender. That's the essence of Ian S.'s story, shared in this episode of Sober Cast. Recorded in Belgium back in 2006, Ian's narrative is a candid recount of hitting rock bottom and the arduous climb back up. He doesn't shy away from detailing the depths of his addiction, the repeated failed attempts at sobriety, and the toll it took on his relationships.
But it's not all darkness; Ian's journey is also one of hope and transformation. Ian speaks openly about his realization that addiction is a disease affecting mind, body, and spirit. He emphasizes the pivotal role of surrendering to a higher power and how spirituality became a cornerstone in his recovery. One particularly striking moment is when he describes accepting God into his life, likening it to having electricity installed and just needing to flip the switch.
His words resonate with anyone who's felt the weight of addiction and the relief that comes with finding a path to recovery. This episode isn't just for those struggling with addiction; it's for anyone who wants to understand the power of perseverance and the transformative nature of recovery. Ian's story is raw, honest, and ultimately uplifting. Tune in to hear how he navigated the twelve steps, cleared out emotional baggage, and found strength in the AA program.
It's a compelling listen that offers valuable insights and inspiration for anyone touched by addiction.
