Steven's Journey: From Struggle to Service in Addiction Recovery
You just have to want to, and I've had a couple of success stories, I have to admit.
Steven's story is one of struggle, resilience, and transformation. In this episode of the 'Keep Coming Back Podcast', he opens up about his battle with addiction and the journey that led him to sobriety. Growing up in a family where alcoholism was prevalent, Steven's own drinking spiraled out of control in his mid-20s. He structured his life around his addiction, even stealing from his family to sustain his habit. Every day he wished to stop but felt trapped and helpless.
The turning point came when his ex-wife reached her breaking point, pushing Steven to seek help. He turned to therapy and support groups like Narcotics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous, and Alcoholics Anonymous. Initially, the 12-step program was a mystery to him, but with time and persistence, he began to see changes in his life. Today, Steven works with people experiencing homelessness and addiction, using his experience to offer hope and guidance.
His message is clear: recovery is possible if you truly want it and are open to taking advice from others. Steven's journey underscores the power of recovery and the importance of sharing one's story to inspire others. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, Steven's story offers a beacon of hope and a reminder that change is possible.
