But in fact the whole thing, the steps, are geared to introduce you to your higher power.
Ever wondered if it's possible to turn your life around after hitting rock bottom? Meet Michael L., a man who did just that. In this episode of 'Keep Coming Back: Real Stories of Sobriety & Recovery', Michael shares his remarkable journey from being a homeless drug addict to becoming a successful photographer. His story is not just about overcoming addiction but also about rediscovering purpose and passion in life. Michael's relationship with alcohol began at the tender age of eight.
Although he didn't like the taste, he was hooked on the way it made him feel. As he grew older, his addiction spiraled out of control, costing him his career, home, and car. Despite trying various methods like hypnosis, acupuncture, and therapy, lasting sobriety seemed elusive until he found the 12-step program. But Michael's road to recovery was far from smooth. He faced numerous challenges, including relapses and multiple stints in rehab.
He also struggled with codependency and workaholism, which he later recognized as extensions of his addiction. Through it all, he leaned heavily on his higher power and the 12-step program, which he believes helped him discover his true self and life's purpose. Today, Michael has rebuilt his life in a way he never thought possible. He's now a successful photographer who has worked with celebrities like Bernadette Peters and Alicia Silverstone.
His story serves as a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction, proving that it's never too late to turn things around. Tune in to hear Michael L.'s full story on 'Keep Coming Back: Real Stories of Sobriety & Recovery'.
