I needed to be in those rooms, particularly that first night, and stand up and identify myself as a newcomer. What I did is, my name's Eddie P., I'm an alcoholic. I take that first step. And right away, you know, that monkey that's on our back was actually a gorilla. But just making that declaration.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after hitting rock bottom? This episode of Recovery Radio features Eddie P., a resident of Moscow, Idaho, who opens up about his tumultuous journey through addiction and his inspiring path to long-term sobriety. Hosted by Radio Johnny at the Latah Recovery Center, this conversation is as raw as it is uplifting.
Eddie takes listeners through his early encounters with alcohol during high school, the downward spiral that led him to face jail time, and the moment of clarity that changed everything. That pivotal decision to attend his first AA meeting marked the start of a transformative journey. Eddie's story isn't just about struggle; it's about resilience, commitment, and the incredible impact of the 12-step program. With over three decades of sobriety under his belt, Eddie now enjoys a fulfilling life.
He's retired from a successful career, travels with his wife, and cherishes time with his children and grandchildren. His journey underscores the powerful message that recovery is possible and life after addiction can be incredibly rewarding. Tune in to hear Eddie's candid reflections and find hope in his story of redemption.
