The highest pinnacle of success for me is staying sober One Day at a time and helping another alcoholic achieve sobriety.
What does it mean to truly find yourself? In this episode of the Recovery Media Podcast, hosts Louis Iacona and Jim Grant sit down with Matthew Forrest to explore his transformative journey through addiction recovery. From battling alcohol and suicidal thoughts to discovering a profound need for unity, community, and spirituality, Matt’s story is both heart-wrenching and uplifting.
He shares how practices like guided meditation, chanting, and yoga became cornerstones of his healing process, offering him a lifeline when he needed it most. Matt delves into the 12-step program and its impact on his life, shedding light on the importance of each step in fostering personal growth and sobriety. He also touches on Buddhist philosophy, particularly the Four Noble Truths, to discuss how acknowledging and learning from our suffering can lead to significant personal development.
One of the standout moments in this episode is Matt’s perspective on adversity, asking himself, 'What if this is happening for me?' This shift in mindset led him to create 'Feeling O2 Good', an initiative aimed at supporting his community. Louis, Jim, and Matt also discuss the value of day-to-day experiences and how even small moments can lead to profound insights about ourselves.
Whether you’re on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a wealth of wisdom and practical advice. Tune in to hear Matt’s inspiring story and discover how unity, community, and spirituality can be powerful tools in the path to recovery.
