I truly believe I was powerless over alcohol because I was always a great dad, but this incident proved to me that I would still put alcohol over my daughter and I knew then that I really needed to make some changes.
Ever wondered how a series of bad decisions can turn into a powerful story of redemption? In this episode of 'Sobersalvation', host Christa Marie Hewson sits down with Darren, a recovery advocate whose journey from youthful drinking to multiple DWIs led him to a profound spiritual awakening. Darren recounts his early experiences with alcohol, which started at a young age and escalated during his college years, eventually leading to several DWIs and the loss of his driving license.
But hitting rock bottom was just the beginning of his transformation. He found solace and a sense of belonging in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), where he realized, 'I am truly powerless', sparking a life-changing shift in his mindset. Through AA, Darren discovered the power of community and spirituality, which became the cornerstone of his recovery. Beyond the spiritual, Darren emphasizes the importance of physical fitness in maintaining sobriety.
He shares how working out and running have been crucial in his recovery journey, helping him stay focused and healthy. Today, Darren mentors others on their path to sobriety, offering hope and guidance through his own experiences. Christa and Darren also touch on the dangers of relapse language and the impact of addiction on relationships, providing listeners with practical advice and inspiration.
If you're looking for a story that combines the power of faith, community, and physical wellness in recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
