It's very hard to do this on your own without a good social network or other support. That proved to be a very helpful part of my recovery going forward.
Bill Greer didn't think his drinking was a problem until his 40s, but by his 50s, he knew he needed help. This episode of 'Atheists in Recovery' dives into Bill's story and how SMART Recovery played a crucial role in his journey to sobriety. He opens up about the challenges he faced, from the initial fear of joining a support group to navigating the intensive outpatient program that became a cornerstone of his recovery.
Bill also shares how he coped with an unexpected twist: his wife’s stage 4 cancer diagnosis. The emotional toll was immense, but the tools and support he found through SMART Recovery helped him manage those intense feelings. If you've ever wondered how faith or personal beliefs fit into a recovery program, Bill touches on that too, offering a perspective that aligns with the ethos of 'Atheists in Recovery'. Throughout the episode, Bill provides practical advice for anyone considering SMART Recovery.
He talks about what makes the program unique and how to determine if it’s the right fit for you. He also offers heartfelt advice to family members struggling to support a loved one battling addiction. Bill’s story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding the right kind of support and using motivational tools to navigate life’s toughest challenges. Tune in to hear his inspiring journey and learn how SMART Recovery might be the resource you’ve been looking for.
