I had a bottom that brought me to recovery and a bottom that brought me to the rooms.
Imagine moving countries while trying to stay sober. In this episode of 'Clean or Sober', Dave chats with a guest who has been through it all. With over 12 years of recovery under his belt, he has navigated life from Puerto Rico to the Dominican Republic, and finally to the United States. Each move brought its own set of challenges, especially when you're Puerto Rican, gay, and unfamiliar with the local culture.
But it's these very struggles that shaped his powerful story of resilience and hope. He talks about hitting rock bottom, escaping death, and finding a higher power that guided him towards recovery. Not just any higher power, but one that fit his unique beliefs and experiences. His journey also highlights the importance of equity and fighting for equal rights in every community he’s been part of.
From being a sponsor to connecting with others on their recovery paths, his insights are both inspiring and practical. If you're looking for a story that combines the raw reality of addiction with the triumph of overcoming it, this episode is a must-listen. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of how recovery can look different for everyone but still lead to the same place: hope and healing.
