My biggest and most important piece of advice is: if you do think you have an issue with alcohol or an unhealthy relationship with alcohol and you do want to stop and you're on the fence. And I promise, promise, promise, promise you this, whoever you are listening- that you can't do it alone.
Imagine hitting rock bottom and finding the strength to rebuild your life from scratch. That's exactly what Jay, a man from Boston, shares in this heartfelt episode of The Recovered Life Show. Hosted by Damon Frank and Kristina Dennis, Jay opens up about his 13-year journey of sobriety, recounting the highs and lows that shaped his path to recovery.
Starting with his first drink in high school, Jay's story is a raw and honest account of how casual drinking spiraled into daily binge sessions and blackout episodes. He talks about the moment he realized he had lost control, affecting his job, relationships, and moral compass. But it wasn't all despair. Jay also reveals the pivotal moment when he hit rock bottom and reached out for help.
He recalls attending his first AA meeting and the life-changing suggestion to go to 90 meetings in 90 days. It was through these meetings that Jay found a supportive community and a safe space to begin healing. Jay's story doesn't just stop at getting sober; he dives into how he found purpose through volunteering and spirituality. His journey underscores the importance of seeking support and finding meaning beyond addiction.
As Jay poignantly puts it, 'Whoever you are listening - you can't do it alone'. This episode is a testament to the power of resilience, hope, and the human spirit's ability to overcome even the darkest times.
