John B.'s Hidden Battle: From Secret Addiction to Sobriety

It's no sin, it's no big problem, it's just you know.
Ever wondered how someone can appear to have it all together while battling a secret addiction? Meet John B., a music teacher whose life seemed perfect on the outside but was secretly spiraling due to alcohol. Growing up in rural Pennsylvania with a childhood injury that left him feeling like an outsider, John turned to alcohol during his college years to cope with anxiety and pressure.
Despite building a successful career and family life in Connecticut, his drinking became increasingly problematic, nearly costing him his job. In this heartfelt episode of 'Sober Friends', hosts Matt, John, and Steve sit down with John B. as he opens up about his journey from hidden struggles to healing in sobriety. John candidly discusses the stigma he faced as an educator, which made seeking help even more challenging.
He shares how he eventually found support through AA and other recovery resources, crediting his sobriety to the community of friends and mentors who stood by him. Listeners will find John's story both inspiring and relatable, as he talks about managing triggers, navigating the ups and downs of sober living, and the unexpected joys of sobriety. Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, John's narrative offers valuable insights and hope for recovery.
