But from That Day that I drank, all I ever wanted to do was drink... And as time has gone on, it's not so much of a struggle
Imagine growing up in Brooklyn with an alcoholic mother, sneaking drinks as a child and then spiraling into a life dominated by alcohol. This is Raymond's story. His journey with addiction began at just 14, leading him down a dark path that included two suicide attempts and multiple stays in psychiatric care. But a turning point came when a nurse at Bellevue Hospital told him something that changed his life: he wasn't mentally ill, he just drank too much.
This stark realization was the catalyst for Raymond to confront his addiction head-on. Raymond's tale is a raw and honest exploration of the struggle with alcoholism and the road to recovery. He opens up about the powerful grip of cravings and the immense challenges faced during early sobriety. Forgiveness, both of himself and others, has been a cornerstone of his healing process. Spirituality also plays a significant role in his ongoing journey to maintain sobriety.
Listeners will find Raymond's story both heart-wrenching and inspiring. It's a vivid reminder of the destructive nature of addiction but also a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. If you're looking for a story that combines struggle, hope, and the power of transformation, this episode is a must-listen.
