So, you know, I realized, you know, I had to be a better person because something, something wasn't right with me, and I know I was using the alcohol to cover it up, and whatever it was, it was, but I knew, I knew I had to do better.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after hitting rock bottom? In this heartfelt episode of 'Addicts Anonymous', host Jim Rachels sits down with Joey R., who opens up about his intense battle with addiction and his inspiring journey to recovery. Joey candidly shares how alcohol became his go-to escape from pain and anxiety, ignoring the early warning signs until it led him to his lowest point. But hitting rock bottom was just the beginning of his transformation.
Joey dives into the various recovery methods he explored, including cognitive behavioral therapy, refuge recovery, and smart recovery, highlighting how each played a role in his healing process. However, he emphasizes that self-discovery was the true game-changer. By digging deep into his own thoughts and feelings, Joey uncovered the root causes of his addiction and tackled them head-on.
