From Rock Bottom to Redemption: A Board Member's Journey with The Virtue Center

I don't think an alcoholic person can effectively treat anything outside of their alcoholism while they're active in their alcoholism. So I got sober July 15th of [20]13, and this time it was different.
Ever wondered how someone can rise from the depths of addiction to a place of hope and healing? In this episode of 'Hope Ahead', we get an intimate look into the life of one of The Virtue Center's board members as he recounts his path to recovery. This isn't just a tale of overcoming addiction; it's a story of rediscovering life, relationships, and passions along the way.
The board member opens up about his darkest moments, including losing his driver's license twice within three years and the toll addiction took on his relationships and love for baseball. He candidly discusses the importance of seeking help, not just for addiction but for co-occurring issues like attention deficit disorder. His journey underscores a powerful message: you can't effectively tackle other mental health challenges while still in the grip of alcoholism.
Faith plays a significant role in his recovery, providing a beacon of hope and strength. His reflections on the necessity of outside support and the transformative services offered by The Virtue Center provide valuable insights for anyone facing similar struggles. This episode is more than just a personal story; it's a source of inspiration and practical advice for those battling addiction and mental health issues.
Tune in to hear how one man's journey from rock bottom to redemption can light the way for others seeking hope and healing.
