Jeff's Journey: From Hidden Drinking to 10 Years Sober

If I took the first drink, I can't stop. If I have one drink, I have to keep drinking.
Imagine being the 'good brother', the one who always seemed to have it together, only to secretly struggle with a growing addiction. That's Jeff's story. In this episode of the Sober Friends Podcast, Jeff sits down with Matt and Steve to open up about his path from alcoholism to recovery. Jeff talks about how he used to fill liquor bottles with water to hide his drinking and how he became a full-time student to dodge responsibilities. The turning point?
Getting caught drunk at a DUI checkpoint but managing to talk his way out by claiming he was headed to a meeting. That moment marked the start of his journey to sobriety, and he's been sober for ten years now. Jeff didn't just stop at getting sober; he became a therapist to help others on their recovery journeys.
He shares his experiences with different recovery methods, like refuge recovery, and how he found new hobbies and interests that enrich his sober life. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Jeff's candidness offers both hope and practical advice, making it clear that recovery is possible and life can be fulfilling again.
