But I also knew at the same time that there was a way out of this and the way out was what I couldn't do it.
Imagine growing up with a deep-seated fear of alcohol, shaped by your family's painful history with it. In this episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg sit down with a second-generation Irishman who shares his poignant journey to sobriety. Raised in a religious household, he was haunted by the shadow of his grandfather's alcoholism and the Irish Catholic guilt that came with it.
For years, he steered clear of alcohol, fearing it would break his mother's heart. But after her passing, his world unraveled, leading him down a dark path of addiction. Through candid storytelling, he recounts how his initial attempts at sobriety through AA were met with setbacks. After nearly a year of staying sober, he had a relapse that landed him in a hospital bed. It was a wake-up call that pushed him to take sobriety seriously.
Since then, he's been unwavering in his commitment to staying clean. This episode delves into themes of family legacy, the struggle with guilt, and the transformative power of community support. It's a heartfelt exploration of how personal loss can be a catalyst for profound change. Whether you're navigating your own recovery or supporting someone who is, this story offers valuable insights and hope.
