Luis L.'s Fight Against Mental Obsession: A Journey to Freedom

But you know, the day that that happened, it was just like that mental obsession lifted and I stopped trying to control everything I tried. You know, like I wasn't stressed about him finding out or judging me, you know, because that had so much power over me for so many years, what people would think of me, you know, and that was like probably one of the biggest roadblocks to my recovery and that was like I don't know, magical to me.
Ever felt trapped in a cycle you couldn't break? Luis L. knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Big Book Awakening', Luis opens up about his relentless battle with the mental obsession to control his drinking. He paints a vivid picture of waking up at 6AM, determined never to drink again, only to find himself rationalizing a drink by 6PM. This internal conflict ruled his life, driving him deeper into the grip of alcoholism.
Luis's story takes a turn when he describes the day the mental obsession lifted. It wasn't magic; it was the result of embracing the Twelve Steps program and a newfound spirituality. He talks about the importance of surrendering control and allowing vulnerability to guide his recovery. Luis’s journey is a testament to the power of the Twelve Steps and the profound changes that can happen when you let go and trust the process.
This episode is perfect for anyone who feels stuck in their own struggles with addiction or knows someone who is. Luis's candid reflections offer hope and practical insights into breaking free from the chains of mental obsession. Tune in to hear a story of transformation, resilience, and the possibility of miracles.
