The solution is that I had to get on with the facts about myself. I see fighting everything in anyone, especially drugs and alcohol? I don't look at that fucking box, or someone comes in and go- oh my god, I'll lose this job if I use today- or I don't stay sober out of fear or fear of consequences, right?
Ian's story is a raw and honest look at the struggles and triumphs of addiction recovery. From a young age, Ian faced deep fears and insecurities that led him down a dark path of drug and alcohol abuse. His attempts to numb the pain only resulted in multiple jail stints and fractured relationships. However, everything changed when he discovered the 12-step program. Through the program, Ian learned about the 'allergy of the body' and the 'phenomenon of craving'.
He realized that his cravings were beyond his mental control, and sobriety seemed like an impossible feat. But by getting honest with himself and committing to the steps, Ian found relief from his addiction. His insights into the sixth, seventh, and tenth steps reveal the ongoing work and commitment required to maintain sobriety. Ian doesn't try to challenge others' beliefs but focuses on taking the next right step and letting a higher power guide him.
His journey is both inspiring and hopeful, showing that recovery is possible even in the face of overwhelming challenges. Ian's story is a powerful reminder that addiction is a disease that can be managed with honesty, self-reflection, and gradual growth. Tune in to hear Ian's full story and discover how the 12-step program can offer a path to recovery.
