Life just keeps getting better, and by that I mean I never understood what the point was of having a drink.
Imagine living a life where alcohol and drugs are your constant companions, only to find yourself in a battle for survival. That's Toby M.'s reality. In this episode of Recovery Internet Radio, host Rick Atwater sits down with Toby to unravel his story of addiction and recovery. Toby opens up about how his initial encounters with alcohol and cocaine were thrilling, but quickly spiraled into a daily struggle.
He shares candidly about the moments that made him realize he was losing control, including a honeymoon on Maui where drinking seemed more important than being present with loved ones. Toby’s journey is not just about the dark times but also the light at the end of the tunnel. He talks about the transformative power of treatment and how embracing recovery has enriched his life beyond measure.
With 31 years of sobriety under his belt, Toby's insights are both sobering and inspiring. He reflects on how he used to rob himself of love and connection, and how recovery has allowed him to reclaim those precious aspects of life. As Toby says, 'Life just keeps getting better, and by that I mean I never understood what the point was of having a drink'.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that no matter how deep the struggle, there is always hope for a brighter future. Whether you're in the midst of your own battle or supporting someone who is, Toby's story offers a beacon of hope and resilience.
