Addiction makes choices for us. But, of course, I was incapable of choosing any of those things. But I wanted to know really if that is something that happened to you or how did you really get into recovery, like what precipitated you finally, after all those years.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn your life around after hitting rock bottom? In this heartfelt episode of HUM Zinger, Sue Newton sits down with co-host Mike Davies to unravel his personal journey through addiction and recovery. Mike opens up about the early onset of his addiction, the countless times he found himself at his lowest, and the pivotal moment in January 2008 when he decided to take control of his life.
His candid storytelling sheds light on the dark corners of addiction, including risky behaviors and the impact of early exposure to pornography. But it's not all gloom; Mike's story is also one of resilience, hope, and the power of surrender. He talks about the crucial role spirituality played in his recovery and how finding 'anchors'—people and practices that kept him grounded—was essential for his sobriety.
Throughout the conversation, Sue and Mike inject moments of humor, making this episode not just enlightening but also enjoyable. As always, the episode wraps up with a 'Hum Zinger question', adding a light-hearted twist to a serious discussion. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.
