Raymond Tackett's Journey: From Darkness to Sobriety

The beauty of that is when you're left, other than what you do Today, like that is probably the most freedom that I've experienced is when my ninth step was empty, you know, and it seems like a daunting list.
What happens when life throws you into the depths of addiction and despair? In this episode of 'I Kissed Alcohol Goodbye', Dana Michael Krull chats with Raymond Tackett, the host of 'Clean or Sober', about his tumultuous journey through addiction and the road to recovery. Tackett's story is one of heartbreak and resilience; after his father was tragically killed, he spiraled into multiple addictions that haunted his twenties.
Facing the harsh reality that without help, his future was bleak, Tackett made the courageous decision to seek inpatient treatment. Through persistence and the support of a 12-Step program, he found hope and a new lease on life. Dana and Raymond delve into the crucial differences between simply abstaining from alcohol and actively working on recovery.
Tackett sheds light on the importance of engaging with all the steps in a 12-Step program, particularly highlighting the transformative power of the 9th step – making amends. They also discuss the 'Triangle of Obsession, Resentment & Fear', a concept that helps individuals understand their past and shape their future. But it's not all heavy; Tackett shares a wild 'war story' from a New Year's Eve gone wrong, adding a touch of humor to the conversation.
The episode is a raw, honest exploration of addiction, recovery, and the vital role of connection and honesty in the journey to sobriety. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers invaluable insights and a reminder that change is possible.
