Writing has made being sober more than just being sober. So you know, the idea for a blog was just embracing what I used to run from, and I can.
Mark Goodson's story is one for the books. Imagine living a life so entangled in addiction that it leads to moments of sheer madness, like stripping down naked in a Mexican church. That was Mark's reality during an episode of drug-induced psychosis. Fast forward to today, and Mark is a sober husband, dad, and writer, finding joy in the ordinary.
On this episode of The Recovery Revolution, hosted by Omar Pinto, Mark shares how he discovered the miracle in everyday life through sobriety. Before taking his first drink, Mark's life was already on a turbulent path. Addiction had its claws in him early, leading to a series of chaotic events that culminated in his rock-bottom moment. But sobriety brought a new perspective. Mark now sees what many might consider mundane as miraculous.
He’s channeled his newfound clarity into writing, creating content that resonates with others on similar journeys. Mark emphasizes the power of structure in early recovery. He talks about the importance of accountability and community, and how mindfulness and meditation have become cornerstones of his daily routine. His journey is one of surrender and acceptance, where he learned to embrace imperfection and vulnerability.
For anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Mark's story is a testament to the transformative power of finding beauty in the small things. He advocates for taking recovery one day at a time, steering clear of instant gratification, and finding strength in community support. Tune in to hear how Mark turned his life around and found purpose in the ordinary.
