I knew I wasn't going to make it, so in almost a split second from not caring whether I lived or died, I wanted to fight tooth and nail.
In this episode of 'I'm Sober Today', Gerry welcomes his friend Will from Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia. Will shares his gripping journey from a troubled youth to a life of sobriety. He talks about his early days sneaking apple juice in a baby bottle to fit in at school, and how that behaviour evolved into breaking into a school canteen and facing the law for the first time.
Will’s teenage years were marked by substance abuse, culminating in dangerous encounters and brushes with the law. Despite these challenges, he found solace in martial arts, which gave him the discipline and structure he needed. However, his career in the film industry exposed him to rampant drug and alcohol use, leading to further struggles. The turning point came when he realised he needed help and sought support from Alcoholics Anonymous.
Will’s story is one of resilience and transformation, highlighting the power of community and the importance of seeking help. His reflections on the importance of spiritual growth and making amends provide valuable insights for anyone on a similar path. Will’s tale is both raw and inspiring, offering hope and practical advice for those battling addiction.
