Going Dry: My Path to Overcoming Habitual Drinking is his first book.
Picture a life where the cycle of habitual drinking is broken, not by sheer willpower alone, but through resilience and the courage to share one’s story. In this episode of 'Beyond Recovery', Matt Gardiner sits down with Sean Robinson, a construction worker and volunteer firefighter from Belleville, Ontario, who candidly discusses his journey to sobriety.
Sean's book, 'Going Dry: My Path to Overcoming Habitual Drinking', serves as a testament to his transformation from a man shaped by early experiences with alcohol to someone who redefined his relationship with it. Sean opens up about how his childhood set the stage for his drinking habits, observing and mimicking the routines of his parents. He recounts how camping trips, often seen as a break from reality, further ingrained his drinking behavior.
However, it was during these moments of reflection in nature that he began to see the need for change. Realizing he had a problem was just the first step; maintaining a journal became a vital tool in tracking his progress and navigating the ups and downs of recovery. The conversation also delves into the challenges Sean faced due to his 'tough guy' persona in the construction and firefighting fields.
Sharing personal struggles in such environments can be daunting, yet Sean emphasizes how opening up was crucial for his healing. His story is not just about overcoming addiction but also about the power of vulnerability and community support in recovery. Sean's advice for those grappling with addiction is heartfelt and practical: keep track of your journey, don’t shy away from seeking help, and understand the importance of sharing your story.
His insights offer a unique perspective on the recovery process, making this episode both enlightening and deeply personal. Tune in to hear Sean’s inspiring journey and perhaps find a bit of your own path to resilience.
