Alcohol gave him confidence and made him whole, until it tore him apart.
Growing up as a latchkey kid in Kansas, John L. started drinking at the tender age of 13, finding that alcohol gave him a sense of belonging and confidence he had never felt before. But as many of us know too well, what starts as a magical escape can quickly turn into a destructive force.
In this episode of the 'Keep Coming Back Podcast', John shares his raw and honest journey from the depths of addiction to the heights of recovery. His early years in the program were anything but smooth; he spent years attending just one meeting a week, feeling angry and miserable. Yet, with time and effort, he found a sponsor, worked through the steps, and transformed his life.
Today, John lives a life filled with purpose and joy, centered around being of service to others. His story is peppered with humor and brutal honesty, making it relatable and inspiring for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is. John talks about the importance of setting boundaries, making amends, and the powerful role of a higher power in his recovery.
He also warns against the dangers of self-obsession and negative self-talk, emphasizing the need for daily work to maintain sobriety. If you're looking for a story that combines struggle, hope, and practical advice, this episode is a must-listen.
