I think the theme of his story is the humility aspect and being able to pick yourself up and say, hey, even though I did have 14 years, hey, I'm a newcomer right now. Day one, what do I need to work on? And to come back and to kind of get after it with that full force and like, hey, what do I need to change a little bit too?
Ever wondered how workaholism and alcohol can intertwine to create a dangerous cycle? In this compelling episode of 'Recovery x APN', Major shares his gripping journey from the throes of alcoholism to the path of recovery. Growing up with normalized alcohol use, Major's drinking habits escalated through college and into his bustling career in the restaurant industry. The pressure to perform led him to rely on alcohol and substances, a crutch that eventually demanded a heavy toll.
Despite achieving 13 years of sobriety, Major faced a devastating relapse triggered by grief, loss, and a relentless need to please others. His return to treatment was not just about quitting alcohol but also about understanding the deeper mental health issues at play. Through the support of APN process groups, Major found the strength to reignite his recovery journey.
This episode sheds light on the raw realities of relapse, the humbling process of seeking help again, and the ongoing battle to maintain sobriety.
