If I don't push the chips all in, chance of success is zero
Tom S. has a story that many can relate to: two DUIs, multiple relapses, and the constant battle between sobriety and addiction. But what makes Tom's story stand out is his resilience and ultimate triumph. In this episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg bring you Tom's candid recounting of his journey to recovery. After two failed attempts, Tom finally found his way to a stable, sober life, now celebrating over eight years of sobriety.
Tom's path wasn't easy. He initially thought he had his addiction under control after the first year of sobriety, only to find himself back in the cycle of drinking and lying by the second year. It wasn't until his wife reached her breaking point that Tom decided to give recovery another serious shot. This time, he ditched the weed and focused on building a solid support system.
What makes this episode particularly engaging is Tom's honesty about his struggles and the lessons he's learned. He talks about the importance of finding a higher power and the dangers of rationalizing addictive behaviors. His reflections on how addiction strained his relationships serve as a poignant reminder of the collateral damage caused by substance abuse. Listeners will find Tom's story both inspiring and relatable.
His message is clear: recovery is possible, but it requires commitment, support, and a willingness to push all your chips in. If you're looking for a tale of perseverance and hope, this episode is a must-listen.
