John Dicandito: From Darkness to Light in Recovery

I had no idea how good it felt to be sober, to not wake up with hangovers.
Imagine feeling completely disconnected from the world, turning to drugs and alcohol as an escape. This was John Dicandito's reality starting in high school. In this heartfelt episode of 'Sharing Our Stories', John opens up about his battle with addiction and his journey towards recovery. What began as a coping mechanism spiraled into years of addiction, until a life-changing moment forced him to seek help.
When John learned he was going to be a father, he knew he had to make a change. With the unwavering support of his loved ones and the recovery community, John found the strength to get clean and rebuild his life. He speaks candidly about the importance of fellowship, service work, and the 12-step program in maintaining long-term sobriety. John's story isn't just about the struggles of addiction; it's about the hope and resilience that can be found in recovery.
He shares practical strategies for managing triggers and temptations, and discusses how addiction impacts relationships with loved ones. This episode offers a raw and honest look at the challenges of addiction, but also provides a beacon of hope for those on their own recovery journey. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, there are resources available to help.
