There was something about walking through them doors and walking into the rooms that you know. Yeah, me and the wife are still married Years now coming up, and yeah, got beautiful grandkids and I wouldn't trade this for the world.
Trevor's story is one of hitting rock bottom and climbing back up, with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). In this episode of Sober Talk SA, Trevor opens up about his battle with alcoholism, which led him to jail and nearly tore his family apart. He doesn't sugarcoat his past, admitting he put his loved ones through immense pain. Yet, it's his candidness that makes his story so powerful.
Trevor shares how he tried to drink like everyone else but always ended up in trouble. It was only when he joined AA that he found the support and sense of belonging he desperately needed. The group might have been small, but their impact was huge. Through working the steps and embracing a higher power, Trevor began to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
One of the most touching aspects of Trevor's journey is the unwavering support of his family. Despite all the chaos, they stood by him, showing that recovery is a collective effort. Trevor also talks about his struggles with spirituality, acknowledging that it wasn't an easy part of the program for him. However, he believes something greater has been guiding him all along. Now sober for years, Trevor enjoys a fulfilling life with his beautiful family—a life he once thought impossible.
His story is a testament to the power of support groups like AA and the importance of never giving up hope. If you or someone you know is grappling with alcohol addiction, Trevor's story is a beacon of hope that recovery is within reach.
