I spent a whole day just in a really dark place, depressed, and then I realized that part of my recovery was going to be mental, you know the physical recovery you know was going to come as it comes, and there's certain things I can do to kind of help that along, which I've been doing.
Imagine facing the daily pressures of being a police officer while battling alcoholism. In this eye-opening episode of 'Sober Gratitudes', Sarah Elizabeth sits down with Chris, a retired cop who has seen it all. Chris opens up about his struggle with alcohol, which intensified after the tragic suicides of two close friends. His journey to sobriety wasn't easy, but it was transformative. Through detox, rehab, and a strong support network, Chris found a way to reclaim his life.
He talks candidly about the mental hurdles he faced and the crucial role of asking for help. But it's not all heavy; Chris also shares how his love for music became a vital part of his healing process. His story is a powerful reminder of the importance of community and support in recovery. Tune in to hear Chris's inspiring journey from the dark days of addiction to a life filled with gratitude and purpose.
