If Irving can get sober . . . so can you! At 19 yrs. old, Irving attempted suicide for the first time and was incarcerated essentially from 28 through 40 yrs. old. Today however, a few years into sobriety, he is a giving and respected member of the community and his family; the promises have surely come true for Irving.
Ever wondered if it's possible to turn your life around after hitting rock bottom? Meet Irving, whose story is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. At just 19, Irving faced his first suicide attempt, and by 28, he found himself in and out of jail until he was 40. But that's not where his story ends—it's where it begins. Now, a few years into sobriety, Irving has become a respected and giving member of his community and family.
His transformation is a testament to the promises of sobriety coming true. In this episode of 'Keep Coming Back Podcast', Irving opens up about his chaotic upbringing marked by family struggles and financial instability. He talks candidly about how he turned to alcohol and drugs as a coping mechanism, leading to a life of legal troubles. A moment of clarity in prison became the turning point that led him to seek out Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and begin his recovery journey.
Irving’s story is filled with raw honesty and vulnerability as he discusses the impact of addiction on his life and relationships. He also highlights the role of spirituality and a higher power in his path to healing. His commitment to service and giving back shows the transformative power of sobriety. If you're struggling with addiction or know someone who is, Irving's journey offers hope and inspiration.
Tune in to hear how he went from incarceration to becoming a pillar of his community.
