I felt seen and essentially I saved my life. And that's like again God using me, using what I like to do for fun.
Ever wondered what it takes to truly kick an addiction? Jeannine and Narcan Nate sit down with Ronny Morales, the brain behind 'We Sober Now' and a TikTok recovery sensation, to explore his unique path to sobriety. Ronny’s journey is anything but straightforward. He initially found some stability with methadone but soon realized that without putting in the hard work of recovery, he was stuck in a loop of relapse and rehab.
It wasn’t until 2019 that he finally achieved long-term sobriety by going cold turkey. But that’s just the beginning. The trio dives into the pros and cons of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) and the traditional twelve-step program, offering a balanced view on these recovery methods. They also touch on the sometimes tricky subject of social media's role in recovery and the importance of maintaining anonymity.
And let's not forget the fun part—Ronny shares how crucial it is to find joy in sobriety. His personal anecdotes highlight how he turned his struggles into a mission to help others. As Ronny puts it, 'I felt seen and essentially I saved my life. And that's like again God using me, using what I like to do for fun'. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the complexities of addiction recovery or supporting someone who is.
It's a conversation filled with hope, practical advice, and a reminder that sobriety can indeed be fun.
