Gabe's Journey: From Darkness to Light and Sobriety
I'm so happy that I found this program because it's changed my life... being in the little town that I'm at, years I've had two people give me like any kind of flack to out of Years. You know those are things that I can't put a price tag on.
Picture this: growing up in a household where alcohol and abuse were the norm. That's Gabe's story. By the age of 24, he found himself deep in the throes of addiction. But a chance encounter at a 'Founder's Day' event in Akron, Ohio, changed everything. In this gripping episode of 'Sober Friends', Gabe takes us through his tumultuous journey from addiction to sobriety.
He talks about how connecting with other recovering alcoholics at that event helped him break free from his shell and embrace a sober life. But Gabe's story doesn't stop there. He delves into the importance of fellowship, service work, and sponsorship in his recovery. He's sponsored countless individuals, helping them find their own paths to sobriety. And in a heartwarming twist, he even got ordained to officiate the wedding of one of his sponsees.
Gabe's narrative is one of redemption and hope, showing that no matter how dark the past, a brighter future is always possible. Tune in to hear how he navigates the challenges of sobriety, including those posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and find inspiration in his resilience.
