But the one thing that nobody can ever take away from me is they call me sober, and a lot of times people ask me what I did and how I did it and how I'm doing it.
Sam Mooney’s story is one that resonates deeply with anyone who's ever felt trapped by addiction. Picture this: a seemingly ordinary guy, a salesman by trade, who loves coaching softball in his small town. He's been married to his best friend for 18 years and is a father to four kids. But behind this 'average Joe' facade was a man battling severe alcoholism.
Sam's drinking spiraled out of control to the point where he couldn't be trusted alone with his children. His wife lived in constant fear, often having to scoop vomit from his mouth to prevent him from choking, and his violent outbursts left his family terrified. Fast forward to today, and Sam is celebrating over eight years of sobriety.
In this heartfelt episode of The Recovery Revolution, Omar Pinto dives into Sam’s transformative journey from the depths of addiction to a life of recovery and joy. Sam shares candidly about the rock-bottom moments that forced him to seek help and the immense impact sobriety has had on his family life. He now dedicates his time to volunteering at drug court and human services, working tirelessly to prevent youth drinking in his community.
This episode is a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit and the importance of seeking support. Sam’s story is a reminder that even the most 'average' person can overcome extraordinary challenges. Tune in to hear how he navigated the rocky road of recovery and found peace on the other side.
