Sobriety's True Challenge: A Conversation with Mike Ryan

It's so much more than just putting down whatever substance it is. It really does come down to creating the kind of life that is worth being sober.
Imagine thinking sobriety is as simple as 'just putting it down'. In this episode of Casting Light, life coaches Dan and Debbie sit down with Mike Ryan to shatter that myth. Mike, a fellow life coach at Guiding Light, dives deep into his personal battle with addiction and the uphill journey to recovery. He candidly shares how the pull of addiction goes beyond mere willpower and why a supportive network is crucial for anyone trying to stay sober.
Mike doesn't just talk about the struggle; he highlights the rewards that come with building a life worth living without substances. The trio also lightens the mood by debating the difference between a 'stand' and a 'stan', showing that even serious conversations can have their lighter moments. If you've ever wondered why getting sober isn't as straightforward as it seems, or if you're looking for practical advice on making your recovery journey more fulfilling, this episode is for you.
