Addiction is a disease that affects families, not just individuals. Alcohol, almost from the beginning for me, kept me back from ever getting the rewards of my work, and I was always a worker.
Remember your first beer? Teddy does. At thirteen, that first sip set him on a path he never imagined. In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, Teddy recounts his gripping journey from that innocent first drink to the dark depths of hard drug use and gang life. Despite 25 years of sobriety, the memories of his early addiction are as vivid as ever.
Teddy's story is more than just a personal account; it's a testament to the ripple effects addiction has on families and communities. He shares how alcohol was a constant roadblock to his success and how he shielded his kids from the harsh realities of his struggles. It wasn't until he hit rock bottom and turned to Alcoholics Anonymous that he found a way out.
Teddy's transformation is a powerful reminder that recovery is within reach, no matter how daunting the challenges may seem. His emphasis on keeping things simple and relying on support systems offers hope and practical advice for anyone battling addiction. Tune in to hear Teddy's inspiring story and discover how he found a new lease on life.
