If this entire podcast doesn't explain powerlessness, like I was, I was a mess anyway.
Imagine thinking a change of scenery could solve all your problems, only to find out you can't outrun yourself. In this episode of 'Clean or Sober', Dave sits down with a doctor whose story takes us across continents—from the bustling streets of New York to the serene heights of Mt. Fuji. The doctor’s tale is anything but ordinary. He moved from New York to Columbus, then Guam, Japan, and even had plans to end his life in Switzerland.
Yet, no matter where he went, his addiction followed. It’s a raw and real conversation about how geographical changes can’t fix what’s inside. But it’s not all gloom. There’s an incredible twist—meeting his now-husband at the top of Mt. Fuji, a moment that symbolizes hope amidst chaos. The doctor also dives into the challenges of being a professional in recovery, the fear of attending meetings due to his status, and how he eventually found solace in spirituality.
This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery is a journey filled with ups and downs, and community support is crucial. If you’re looking for a story that blends heartbreak with hope and offers real talk about the struggles and triumphs of sobriety, this episode is for you.
