Once I had a couple beers in me, a couple of miller lights. I don't think I was doing it anything too extreme. Did it ever occur to you that there was something going wrong here, or did it seem natural to you to accelerate your drug use like that?
Owen Bowness wears many hats. He's a husband, father, podcaster, martial artist, and, perhaps most notably, a stand-up comedian. But behind the laughter lies a powerful story of resilience and recovery. In this episode of 'Recovery Radio', Owen opens up about his 11-year journey to sobriety, offering a candid look at the highs and lows of overcoming substance abuse. Owen's tale begins with experimenting with drugs and alcohol in his youth, eventually spiraling into addiction.
He hits rock bottom but finds the strength to seek help. His story is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for change and growth. Throughout the episode, Owen highlights the crucial role of community and purpose in maintaining sobriety. He talks about how stand-up comedy became his therapy, helping him rebuild his confidence and self-esteem.
Owen also touches on euphoric recall, the phenomenon where past drug experiences are remembered more positively than they were, and how AA meetings and sponsorships have been pivotal in his recovery. If you're looking for a story that blends humor with heartfelt insights into addiction and recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
