The bright side of addiction is recovery, and recovery is as recovery does.
Imagine being given your first drink of alcohol at just two weeks old. That's how Julie's story begins, thanks to her alcoholic grandfather. On the other hand, Jimmy's life took a drastic turn when he experienced six alcohol-induced grand mal seizures, leaving him paralyzed and at death's door. Now, with a combined 67 years of sobriety, Julie and Jimmy share their incredible journeys on 'Recovery Coast to Coast' with host Neil Scott.
This episode isn't just about the dark days of addiction; it's a celebration of the human spirit's resilience and the transformative power of recovery. Julie and Jimmy open up about their struggles, the pivotal moments that led them to seek help, and the ongoing journey of staying sober. They dive into topics like the importance of gratitude, maintaining a positive outlook, and the role of faith and a higher power in their recovery.
Listeners will hear firsthand how addiction impacts families and loved ones, but also how recovery can mend those broken bonds. Julie and Jimmy emphasize the significance of sponsorships and the 12-step program in their healing process, offering a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with similar challenges. Their stories are a testament to the fact that recovery is possible, no matter how dire the circumstances may seem.
As they poignantly put it, 'The bright side of addiction is recovery, and recovery is as recovery does'. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and encouragement on their own path to sobriety.
