I'm a drug addict, an alcoholic and I'm a gambler... All I have to do is stop that, control it, control the drink and I'll be fine.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after years of addiction? In this gripping episode of the Soberoso podcast, host Dora Gosselin sits down with Tommy Figlioli, the author of 'That's What Junkies Do'. Growing up in Brooklyn, NY, Tommy idolized the Mob and found himself spiraling into alcoholism at a young age. His addiction escalated to harder drugs and gambling, leading to strained relationships and even a brush with death. But that's not where his story ends.
Tommy shares how he managed to claw his way back to sobriety with the help of family, friends, and the recovery community. He found a new purpose in life through writing and helping others who are on their own recovery journeys. This episode covers the gritty reality of addiction, the importance of mental health, and how sharing one's story can be a beacon of hope for others.
If you're looking for a tale of resilience and redemption, you won't want to miss this one.
