One of the most beautiful things I found in this program is connection, where you never thought it was possible.
Imagine feeling completely alone, living in your car, and not eating for weeks. This was Nate's reality during the darkest days of his addiction. In this episode of 'Armed With Tracks', Nate opens up about his journey from hopelessness to finding a supportive community through the 12-step program. Nate's childhood seemed typical, but he always felt the need to be in control and struggled with social anxiety.
As a teenager, he turned to drugs and alcohol to cope, which quickly spiraled into a full-blown addiction, costing him his job and stability. Feeling utterly lost, Nate hit rock bottom. It wasn't until he reached out for help and discovered the 12-step program that things began to change. He found a home group that welcomed him and a sponsor who guided him through the steps.
Through this process, Nate learned the value of connection and community—something he had always found challenging. Now, he walks into meetings as a stranger and leaves with new friends who truly understand him. Nate's story is a testament to the power of support and the possibility of recovery. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, this episode offers a message of hope and the importance of reaching out for help.
