I often ask myself: would I have made it to rehab to deal with an alcohol and gambling problem? To be honest with you, I would like to think so, but cocaine made the decision for me.
Imagine a substance as destructive as cocaine being the unexpected spark for a life-changing journey towards sobriety. In this episode of 'A Lust for Sober Life', MrTheraPOD recounts his deeply personal story of addiction and recovery, revealing how cocaine, oddly enough, became a turning point in his battle against substance abuse.
Through candid reflections and raw honesty, he shares how his struggle with alcohol had already taken a heavy toll, but it was his encounter with cocaine that finally pushed him to seek help and enter rehab. Drawing a vivid analogy to a boxing match, he compares his addiction to George Foreman, taking hit after hit without realizing the impact until a final blow - much like Ali's swift punches - brought him to his knees.
This led to his complete surrender and acceptance of the need for professional help, which he found at Hope Rehab Thailand under the guidance of addiction therapist Brett Walker. The episode underscores the importance of reaching out for support and being open about one's struggles with loved ones. It wraps up with a poignant quote by Norman Cousins, reminding us that the real tragedy in life is not death, but what we let die inside us while we live.
Tune in to hear an inspiring tale of resilience and the transformative power of seeking help.
