That moment of clarity is the gift, because if that doesn't happen...maybe I'm not here now, it's a gift.
Desperation. It’s a word that usually conjures up feelings of fear and hopelessness. But what if it could be the very thing that sets you on the path to recovery?

It’s about recognizing the pain and choosing to do something about it.
This episode also tackles the tough topics of shame and self-forgiveness, offering insights into various recovery programs and therapies. The overarching message is one of hope and resilience—no one has to suffer alone, and there’s always a chance for a brighter tomorrow. If you’re looking for inspiration and practical advice on navigating the journey to sobriety, this episode is a must-listen.
