The disease of addiction and alcoholism took another life, the fact that you and I are here having this conversation- it's a miracle, is the miracle, it's the exception, not the rule, because it's like the baseline.
Ever wondered what it's like to face addiction head-on at just 19 years old? In this episode of 'Sicker Than Most', guest Dom opens up about his unique experience growing up in a family where drinking was the norm and recovery wasn't discussed. Dom's story is a raw and honest look at how his early drinking habits were rationalized by those around him, leading to a downward spiral that caught up with him during his college years.
Dom doesn't shy away from sharing the depths of his struggle, describing a state of 'incomprehensible demoralization' he reached at such a young age. But this episode isn't just about the lows—it's about the incredible journey of building a solid foundation in recovery.
