I guess my little brother, I've kind of opened his eyes up to the world with what the stuff's like, and to This Day he still doesn't drink or use. I knew I just wanted to be back to, I guess, my normal self and I was done with it.
Imagine being stabbed seven times and dying six times on the operating table. That's the harrowing reality Michael Rowcroft faced. At just 22 years old, Michael was homeless, addicted to alcohol and meth, and estranged from his family. His life was spiraling out of control until a violent drug deal turned into a near-death experience that became his turning point.
In this episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol', Michael shares his incredible journey from the depths of addiction to a life filled with forgiveness, love, and redemption. Michael's story is nothing short of miraculous. After his near-fatal encounter, he realized he needed to make a change. He started the long, difficult road to sobriety, even living in his car for six months before his life-altering incident.
The episode dives deep into how he embraced a 12-step program, learned to sit with his emotions, and found solace in running. Now, he's not just running for himself but also raising funds for the rehab center that helped save his life. His goal? A staggering 340km in just three days. Michael's tale is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. He reflects on how alcohol initially made him feel like he fit in but eventually led to self-isolation and deeper addiction.
His journey underscores the importance of reaching out for support and connecting with others who understand the struggle. As Michael poignantly puts it, 'just keep walking towards the freedom'. This episode is a testament to the power of resilience and the human spirit. Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Michael's story offers a beacon of hope and a reminder that it's never too late to turn your life around.
