And it's about I try, with recovery stuff, I try to be on platform every single time of walk the walk, because you never know the message that you're going to give to somebody, and I want it to be the right message.
Ever thought you had everything under control, only to find out you didn't? That's exactly what happened to Mike C. He believed he could stop drinking whenever he wanted. But when things got really bad, he realized he couldn't quit on his own. On the outside, Mike's life looked perfect, but inside, he felt empty. Luckily, someone showed up in his life and told him there was more to life than drinking.
Mike dove into recovery, stayed connected to his support system, and had five solid years of sobriety. Then, he made a mistake many of us can relate to—he started to pull back from the very things that kept him sober. Meetings felt repetitive, and he thought he could handle it alone. That’s when the old feelings of misery began to creep back in. Although Mike didn't relapse, he found himself dangerously close and had to re-engage with his recovery program.
In this episode of 'Sober Friends', Mike shares his story as a cautionary tale for anyone feeling bored or disconnected in their recovery journey. He talks about how staying connected and being part of a community is crucial for long-term sobriety. Mike also touches on the importance of a higher power in his life and how sharing his story has been both healing for him and helpful to others.
If you've ever felt like the routines of recovery are getting stale, or if you’re looking for ways to reignite your commitment, Mike's experience offers valuable lessons. Tune in to hear how reconnecting with the right people and staying active in your recovery can make all the difference.
