And for me, I had to have the commitment of overeaters anonymous tied in with steps.
Ever thought about how one addiction can mask another? In this episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg sit down with Michael, a man who once believed he was immune to the very struggles that plagued his family. Known as the 'good kid', Michael never imagined he'd face the demons of alcoholism and compulsive overeating. But life had other plans.
After hitting rock bottom at the end of his first marriage, he found solace in Alcoholics Anonymous, only to discover that his journey was far from over. As his weight ballooned and diets failed, Michael felt an emptiness he couldn't shake. It wasn't until his family staged an intervention that he faced his compulsive overeating head-on. Through candid conversations, Michael shares how he navigated the tricky waters of dual recovery, finding support in both Alcoholics Anonymous and Overeaters Anonymous.
He opens up about the role of genetics in addiction and the concept of powerlessness, shedding light on his path to self-discovery. Michael's story is a raw and inspiring testament to the power of family support and the importance of seeking help. His journey offers hope and encouragement to anyone battling multiple addictions or feeling like something is missing in their recovery. Tune in to hear how Michael finally found his missing piece and reclaimed his life.
