I've used the word scared a few times Today and it's probably not till I discuss it now that I realized that's what I was feeling in amongst a lot of frustration, sorrow, self-pity.
Ever hit rock bottom and wondered if it's the start of something better? In this heartfelt episode of 'Henry Weston's Old Mate', host Stuart Butler and his friend Phil recount the week Stu spent in the hospital back in late 2017. This wasn't just any hospital stay; it was the moment Stu had his last drink and began his path to recovery from addiction.
He opens up about the lies he told himself and others, and the lonely struggle of trying to manage his addiction alone. But finding himself sick and scared in a hospital bed was a wake-up call. With family and friends rallying around him, Stu realized that recovery needed more than just personal resolve—it required accepting help and taking tiny steps forward. This episode delves into the raw emotions and irrational thoughts that often accompany addiction, but it also radiates hope.
Stu's story is a testament to the power of support systems and the importance of small, consistent efforts towards sobriety. If you're looking for an honest, encouraging tale of overcoming addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
