When I stay into that program of being of service to people, then I'm going to have a good life. Maybe it'll be the 10 o'clock and the 2 o'clock, but I need meetings 7 Days a Week to have A Good Week and I don't know why that is, but that's just what it takes for me.
Imagine facing life's hurdles head-on and turning them into stepping stones. That's exactly what Tony Miller has done. In this episode of 'Stigmatized', Tony opens up about his extraordinary journey, marked by struggles that would have defeated many. Tony didn't learn to read until he was 13, a secret he kept hidden from most people. By 19, he had started a business that thrives to this day.
But perhaps the most remarkable part of Tony's story is his 40 years of sobriety. It's a testament to his unwavering commitment to self-improvement and helping others. Tony speaks candidly about three significant challenges he calls 'gifts': alcoholism, three marriages, and diabetes. These 'gifts' have shaped him into the resilient person he is today. His battle with alcoholism and its impact on his relationships offers a raw look at the struggles many face in silence.
Yet, through it all, Tony's dedication to service and community support has been his anchor. Fitness and wellness are also cornerstones of Tony's life, particularly in managing his diabetes. He underscores the importance of self-care and finding joy in activities that bring fulfillment. His story isn't just about overcoming adversity; it's about thriving despite it. Tony's journey is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible and that we can all find strength in community and perseverance.
Tune in to hear Tony's inspiring story and join the conversation on breaking the stigma surrounding behavioral health.
