I recover loudly so others don't suffer in silence. Reach out, ask for help, and talk about what's going on. It's about the communication, being vulnerable, and just the alcohol was the tip of the iceberg. It was all the emotional layers underneath that I'm finally dealing with. Life's so much better.
Imagine spending over three decades with alcohol as your constant companion. That's the reality Mike faced until a near-fatal rollover accident forced him to confront his addiction head-on. In this gripping episode of 'Sober Motivation', Mike recounts his tumultuous journey from a troubled childhood to the pivotal moment that set him on the path to sobriety. Growing up, Mike used alcohol to drown out the pain and negative thoughts, leading to multiple drinking and driving incidents.
It wasn't until he reached out for help that he began to see a glimmer of hope. Mike's story is a raw and honest account of the struggles and triumphs that come with battling addiction.

With ten months of sobriety under his belt, Mike now dedicates his time to reaching back into the fire to support those still battling their demons. His story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, no matter how long you've been struggling.
