Shane's journey to sobriety is nothing short of remarkable. In this episode of 'Sober Motivation: Sharing Sobriety Stories', Shane opens up about his life, from a happy childhood in Phoenix to the dark days of severe addiction. His story starts with the pain of bullying in middle school, which led him to alcohol for the first time. What began as a way to cope with emotional turmoil spiralled into a serious addiction that included multiple arrests and life-threatening situations.
By 2011, Shane hit rock bottom, facing significant legal consequences that pushed him towards a faith-based rehabilitation programme. Through the unwavering support of his family and a newfound community, he found the strength to turn his life around. Now, Shane dedicates his time to helping others on their path to recovery, emphasising the critical role of community, purpose, and addressing underlying traumas.
