Mike's Path to Sobriety: Finding Strength in a Higher Power
A spiritual aspect is only what you believe in, not a god or anything else. But the problem is with alcohol, I have an obsession that drives me to continue to use it exactly, and that obsession got removed.
Imagine facing the world with the weight of addiction on your shoulders, feeling like there's a person inside you that you just can't reach. That's exactly what Mike went through.

He also highlights the importance of having a sponsor and a support system, emphasizing that while change starts from within, having someone to guide you can make all the difference.
