I think that sentiment stems from the AA world but either way, I couldn't disagree anymore. I really think that thought of you have to hit rock bottom before you get clean is just a dangerous sentiment to have out there, and it leads people to think they can always get worse, meanwhile isn't true rock bottom death or maybe killing somebody else while you're driving impaired - why would you wait until then? Do you really want some horrible experience like that on your conscious for the rest of your life?
Ever wondered how family habits can shape our own? Meet Steve from just outside Toronto, who’s celebrating a full year of sobriety. In this episode of 'Voices of Sobriety', Steve opens up about his childhood, where his father’s nightly drinking set a pattern he would later follow. But Steve’s story is one of breaking free from those chains and finding a new way to live.
He shares how he became aware of alcohol's grip on his life and how traditional recovery programs like AA didn't resonate with him. Instead, he found solace and a new perspective through Annie Grace's 'This Naked Mind'. This book, along with 'Alcohol Explained', helped him transform his mindset and approach to sobriety. Steve's journey highlights the power of education in reshaping our lives and the importance of support from loved ones.
His story is a testament to the unique paths we all take towards a healthier, alcohol-free life. Whether you're on your own journey or supporting someone else, Steve's experiences offer valuable insights and hope.
