In this episode of the 217 Recovery Podcast, Corey Winfield takes the stage to share his raw and emotional recovery journey. Recorded live at Recovery Stories: Message of Hope Part IV in Traverse City, Michigan, Corey opens up about a particularly challenging period in his life. He recounts his experience working for iHeartMedia in Fort Smith, Arkansas, during the end of November 2014, when his alcohol addiction had reached a critical point.
Corey vividly describes the physical and emotional toll of his addiction, from shaking uncontrollably due to withdrawal to dealing with jaundice and severe pain. His story is filled with moments of humour and vulnerability, painting a vivid picture of the struggles he faced and the turning points that led him towards recovery. Corey’s candidness about his denial and eventual acceptance of his alcoholism is both heart-wrenching and inspiring.
He emphasises the importance of framing one's recovery journey in a way that feels right for the individual, whether it’s identifying as an alcoholic or simply as a person in recovery. This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery is a personal and unique journey, and it’s okay to find your own path. Tune in to hear Corey’s story of resilience and hope, and perhaps find some inspiration for your own journey.
