The first miracle of getting sober is having solid bowel movements.
Imagine living life through the lens of TV shows and movies, never really engaging with the world around you. That was Ryan M's reality during his darkest days of alcohol addiction. In this episode of the 'Sober Friends' podcast, hosts Matt, John, and Steve sit down with Ryan to uncover his inspiring story of transformation. Ryan opens up about his early 30s when his drinking had escalated to the point where his only companions were fictional characters on a screen.
His turning point came after being arrested at his parents' home, a low moment that sparked his journey towards sobriety. What makes Ryan's story unique is his deep involvement in the AA community from the very start of his recovery in March 2013. Drawn to the energy and support of younger members in his 12-step group, he became an active participant in the Young People in AA organizations.
Ryan’s dedication to service work within AA has not only helped him stay sober but also allowed him to make a positive impact on others struggling with addiction. Throughout the episode, Ryan shares candid insights into how he rebuilt his life, from attending social events without alcohol to forming meaningful relationships. The hosts highlight the importance of community support and service work in maintaining sobriety, emphasizing how these elements have been crucial in Ryan's recovery journey.
This episode is a testament to the power of sobriety to transform lives and offers hope and practical advice for anyone facing similar struggles. Whether you're new to recovery or looking for inspiration, Ryan's story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to participate in life again.
