They're there for you when you need that guidance and that helping hand to guide you in the right direction.
Imagine starting down a path of addiction at just thirteen. That's where Steve's story begins, with marijuana as his first step. Introduced by his older brother and friends, Steve's early experimentation quickly escalated. By fifteen, alcohol had taken center stage, pushing marijuana aside. For Steve, fun and alcohol became inseparable companions. But this 'functioning alcoholic' façade crumbled in his mid-40s, leading to a dark moment where he tried to drink himself to death.
It was his twenty-year-old son's intervention that stopped him. Steve's love for his family became the cornerstone of his recovery journey. Now, while he's in a better place, he remains cautious about relapse. In this episode of 'Stories of Addiction', Steve opens up about the highs and lows of his battle with substance abuse, the pivotal role of family support, and the importance of a sober living environment.
His story is a testament to the resilience needed to overcome addiction and the critical first step of seeking help.
