If it had one person, just to take a look at the life, and you know I'm going down that road, or I am in that position.
Steve Downie’s story is one of resilience and hope. At 54, he’s been sober for nearly two years, but his journey to this point wasn’t easy. In this episode of 'Catch Me When I Fall', Steve opens up about his battle with alcoholism, from his troubled childhood to the lowest points of his addiction. What makes Steve’s story particularly compelling is his dedication to giving back.
He now runs a Self-Management and Recovery Training (SMART) Recovery Group in Chorley, a community that once helped him find his footing. With the support of Andrea Horrocks, who founded the charitable organization, Steve has become a beacon of hope for others struggling with addiction. He emphasizes the critical role his wife played in his recovery, highlighting the importance of a strong support system.
This episode is not just a recounting of struggles; it’s a testament to the power of admitting one's addiction, undergoing detox, and embracing rehabilitation. Steve’s journey serves as an inspiration for anyone facing similar battles, showing that recovery is possible with the right support and determination.
