I believe that when you're desperate enough to do absolutely anything, recovery becomes possible. People had been shooting at me in my drinking and drugging. That whole there came some serenity relatively quickly for me, that in that hole, you know what I didn't want to drink and I didn't want to use. And you know, I learned how to take care of me.
Have you ever wondered what it takes to stay sober for two decades? In this episode of Soberoso, host Dora Gosselin sits down with her friend Lucky, who is celebrating an incredible milestone—20 years clean and sober. Lucky’s journey started at the age of 17, marked by numerous stints in jail and several DUIs. He reached a point where he knew his life was at risk if he didn't make a change.
Lucky opens up about his tumultuous past, sharing how he battled with alcoholism and drug addiction, and how these struggles were intertwined with anger issues and a painful childhood. He talks candidly about hitting rock bottom and the pivotal moment when he realized that his old ways were no longer working for him. This realization led him to embrace recovery wholeheartedly. In a heartfelt conversation, Lucky delves into the significance of finding purpose in recovery.
He explains how therapy helped him confront his codependency and toxic behaviors, and how the 12-step program played a crucial role in his journey. But it's not just about his personal transformation; Lucky has also dedicated himself to helping others. He has built several recovery homes, providing support to thousands of people battling addiction.
One of the most touching parts of Lucky's story is how he's giving back by changing the life of a young boy, showcasing the ripple effect of recovery. His story is a testament to the power of resilience and the beauty of finding purpose beyond one's own healing. This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
Lucky's story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about the ongoing journey of recovery and the profound impact it can have on others.
