In recovery, all of a sudden I recognized a freedom that I never had, that I never had, even before I took the first drink, and that was instilled in me a profound gratitude.
Ever thought mouthwash could be someone’s drink of choice? Meet Corky, whose battle with alcoholism led him down a dark path where even Listerine became a means to an end. In this episode of 'Quit Addiction Now', Corky opens up about his harrowing journey through addiction, marked by moments of despair and unexpected choices. With blood pressure readings that would alarm any doctor, Corky was a self-described 'wreck' before he found his way to recovery.
His story is one of climbing out of a cave he didn’t even know he was in, and finding light in the most unexpected places. Corky shares how the twelve steps of Alcoholics Anonymous offered him not just a roadmap to sobriety, but a community that embraced him and helped him heal. He talks candidly about the power of admitting regrets and making amends, which led him to experience a profound sense of gratitude and freedom.
'In recovery, all of a sudden I recognized a freedom that I never had, even before I took the first drink,' he says. This episode is a raw and inspiring look at how community, honesty, and perseverance can transform lives. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Corky's story offers hope and practical insights into the power of never giving up.
