It's like shoveling coal into the fire of them. You're sober and you're living with sober guys. I equated drinking with partying and having a lot of fun, and I know when I drank, it was always about to start the party.
Imagine waking up with no phone, no cash, and no memory of the last 12 hours. That was Ricardo D's reality one fateful morning. In this episode of 'Keep Coming Back', Ricardo opens up about his battle with addiction and the turning point that led him to sobriety. He paints a vivid picture of his early encounters with alcohol and drugs, and the societal pressures that fueled his habits. But it wasn’t all doom and gloom.
Ricardo found a lifeline in the sober community and embraced a new way of life with the help of his first sponsor who urged him to dive headfirst into Alcoholics Anonymous. His story is not just about quitting substances; it's about rediscovering himself and finding a purpose beyond the bottle. Ricardo talks candidly about the romanticization of drinking and how society often glorifies alcohol consumption, making it hard for many to see the dangers lurking beneath.
He also shares the importance of giving back and supporting others on their recovery journeys. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or seeking inspiration on the path to recovery. Ricardo’s reflections and practical advice offer a beacon of hope for newcomers and seasoned veterans alike.
