There's like just remember two things. You know, and you know, and I do other things, but you know, life's good.
Imagine finding yourself at the brink of death because of your addiction. That’s exactly where Mike was when his substance abuse nearly destroyed his liver. Introduced to alcohol by his older siblings, Mike’s love affair with substances quickly escalated to illegally prescribed pills. His story is a stark reminder of how addiction can grip anyone, regardless of their background.
In this episode of 'One Day at a Time: In Recovery in Baltimore', host Theo Hill sits down with Mike to unravel his tumultuous journey through addiction and recovery. Mike doesn’t hold back as he recounts his initial fall into addiction, the devastating consequences, and the life-altering interventions that pulled him back from the edge. But the story doesn’t end there; Mike relapsed after 14 years of sobriety, proving that the battle against addiction is ongoing and relentless.
However, he’s back on the path to recovery, armed with a daily mantra: 'There’s only one drug you can't do: The first one'. This episode is packed with raw honesty and hard-earned wisdom. Mike’s candidness about his struggles and triumphs offers a beacon of hope for anyone facing similar battles. His advice to newcomers in recovery is simple yet profound: 'Life’s good'.
Whether you’re on your own recovery journey, supporting a loved one, or seeking inspiration, Mike’s story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Join Theo and Mike for an episode that’s not just about overcoming addiction but also about reclaiming life, one day at a time.
