In this gripping episode of 'Tribe Sober - inspiring an alcohol-free life!', Janet Gorond sits down with Nico Morales, an author and coach who shares his harrowing journey from addiction to redemption. Nico's story begins with a troubled childhood marked by abuse and abandonment, leading him to substance use at an early age. By 14, he was using cannabis, and by 20, he was addicted to heroin.
After switching from heroin to alcohol, his addiction spiralled out of control by the age of 27. Nico's turning point came on his 27th birthday, living in a derelict house that once belonged to his grandmother. His mother and sister visited him, and it was then that he realised he needed to make a change. Nico's vivid descriptions of his rock bottom moments are both heart-wrenching and eye-opening.
He recounts sleeping on a mat in a dilapidated house with just a hot plate and a TV for company. This stark reality made him question his choices and ultimately led him to seek help. Nico's journey to sobriety involved daily prayer, new routines, and seeking accountability from trusted individuals. His story is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of mindset in overcoming addiction.
Janet Gorond, the host and founder of Tribe Sober, provides a supportive platform for Nico to share his experiences. She emphasises the importance of community and support in the recovery journey. Whether you're already sober, striving to be sober, or just sober curious, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration. Why should you listen? Nico's raw and honest account of his battle with addiction is both inspiring and motivating.
His story reminds us that no matter how deep one falls, there is always a way back up. If you're looking for a dose of hope and practical advice on overcoming addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
