I didn't want my boys to suffer with the same addictive pattern that so many of my family experienced, so I found a way. I found my inspiration in my own kids.
How do you break free from a family history riddled with addiction? In this episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg sit down with a dad who has done just that. Growing up in a family where alcoholism was the norm, he knew he had to change the narrative for his two boys. His story is a rollercoaster of fear, determination, and ultimately, hope. Imagine realizing that every man in your family has succumbed to alcoholism.
This was the harsh reality our guest faced. But instead of accepting it as his fate, he chose to fight back. Inspired by his desire to give his children a different life, he embarked on a journey of sobriety and transformation. The episode doesn't shy away from the gritty details. Our guest opens up about the challenges of parenting while in recovery, dealing with divorce, and the heart-wrenching guilt of not always being there for his kids.
He talks about the importance of finding a support system and how shared meetings became a cornerstone in his recovery process. But it's not all doom and gloom. The guest's story is also one of inspiration. His kids played a pivotal role in his journey, serving as his motivation to stay sober. Their future became his guiding light, helping him to remain strong and committed even when the going got tough.
If you're looking for a tale that combines raw honesty with uplifting moments, this episode is for you. It's a powerful reminder that no matter how deep-rooted the problem, change is possible. Tune in to hear a compelling story of breaking generational patterns and find out how one dad turned his life around for the sake of his children.
