It was the scariest moment in my life to face death straight in the eye and be like, you, this was self-inflicted, man
In this episode of 'Sober Motivation: Sharing Sobriety Stories', we hear from Will, a man who grew up in a supportive family but found himself ensnared by alcohol from a young age. Will's journey began at 14, when he had his first drink, and it quickly spiralled into a full-blown addiction that seeped into every corner of his life.
Despite excelling in sports and later becoming a teacher, alcohol remained a constant companion, causing him to lose friends and struggle with his responsibilities. His story takes a dramatic turn when his wife insisted he go to the hospital, a visit that would ultimately save his life. Through candid reflections, Will discusses the stark realities of his addiction, the turning points that made him realise he needed help, and the long road to recovery.
This episode is not just about the struggles but also about the triumphs and the ongoing effort to maintain sobriety. Will's honesty and courage offer hope and inspiration for anyone battling addiction or supporting someone who is. Tune in to understand how Will turned his life around and what keeps him motivated on his sober journey. This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible and that seeking help can lead to a brighter future.
