I never want to live life in a way that I revisit my transition into death with that kind of weight that I had on me at that time. And luckily I was able to wake up, come back, have a second chance at life. God willing, I had a second chance at this, that I try to live in a way that if something was to happen to me, somebody was to point a gun at me and say, this is your last moment, then I'm kind of comfortable with the life that I'm living, the choices that I'm making.
Meet Mike, also known as Jersey Mike, whose life took a dramatic turn after years of substance abuse and a near-fatal health crisis. In this gripping episode of 'Sober Motivation', Mike opens up about his early struggles with identity and belonging, which led him down a rebellious path filled with alcohol and chaos. His journey is fraught with personal traumas, a painful separation, and serious health issues that culminated in a three-week coma.
When Mike's eyes turned yellow, his mother’s urgent call for an ambulance was a pivotal moment that marked the beginning of his recovery. Now, with immense gratitude for his second chance at life, Mike is determined to build a future he can be proud of. His candidness about the darkest moments of his life serves as a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction.
Tune in to hear how Mike confronted his demons, sought help, and embarked on a transformative journey towards sobriety. This episode is a powerful reminder that no matter how dire the circumstances, it’s never too late to turn things around.
