For me, like when I was told that number one like I'm powerless, basically simply put, once I start getting higher drinking, I have absolutely no control over the amount I take. But step programs like in my mind it's like I'm insane, right, I can't rationally out think myself like what I have to do is I have to have a higher power, come in and work through me.
What does it mean to find clarity after years of chaos? In this episode of The Sober Unicorn, host Holden S sits down with Austin, whose story is both harrowing and hopeful. Austin opens up about his battle with addiction, which began with marijuana and alcohol before spiraling into heroin use. His candid recounting of hitting rock bottom and the tough road to recovery is nothing short of gripping.
Austin doesn't shy away from discussing the 'insanity' of his addiction and the hard times he faced even during recovery. He emphasizes the importance of keeping his spiritual ego in check and how vital it was to lean on a higher power for strength. The episode also highlights the value of surrounding oneself with a supportive community and the transformative power of step programs.
Austin’s journey from the depths of addiction to a place of happiness and sobriety offers invaluable insights for anyone grappling with similar struggles or supporting someone who is. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that sheds light on the dark corners of addiction and the bright possibilities of recovery.
