Mike K.'s Journey: From Troubled Teen to 14 Years Sober
I think coming to these rooms has been the place where I've found real, genuine connection to other people, to the true nature of myself, which ultimately, I think, connects me to this more bigger power which I see as sort of the collection of all things which I generally only connect to when I'm very present, and so I have tools at my disposal now to help me get present.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn your life around after hitting rock bottom? Mike K. opens up about his path from being a rebellious teen to celebrating 14 years of sobriety. In this episode of the 'Keep Coming Back Podcast', Mike reflects on his early years, marked by emotional turmoil and a relentless pursuit of 'more'. He shares how his mother's long-term sobriety became a guiding light for him, even when he was spiraling out of control.
By his junior year in high school, Mike had been arrested multiple times and expelled, losing his way entirely. It wasn't until he was 26 that he finally surrendered to the welcoming arms of Alcoholics Anonymous. Today, Mike lives in the present, embracing growth and the wisdom to 'Keep Coming Back'. His story is a testament to the power of authenticity and the transformative impact of AA.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply love a good comeback story, Mike's journey offers a heartfelt reminder that change is always possible.
