What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? Doc C. shares his gripping journey from idolising the glamorous, cocktail-toting characters of the 1930s to battling his own alcohol addiction. Doc recounts how he chased the illusion of success, equating wealth with happiness, all while neglecting the more profound aspects of life such as family and personal health.
With a sprinkle of humour, he compares his obsession with alcohol to a man’s bizarre love for pickles, illustrating the absurdity of addiction. Doc's story takes listeners through his tumultuous marriages, his career highs and lows, and the ultimate realisation that sobriety was not just about abstaining from alcohol but embracing a new way of living.
His account is peppered with anecdotes, including the surreal hallucinations during his withdrawal phase, reminding us that the journey to recovery is both challenging and surreal. He emphasises the importance of community and support in Alcoholics Anonymous, sharing how a simple act of getting on his knees each morning helped him find clarity and self-honesty. Doc's candid narrative is both a cautionary tale and a testament to the power of perseverance and faith in oneself and others.
So, what does true success mean to you? Is it measured by wealth or by the richness of life experiences? Dive into Doc's story and explore what it truly means to live alcohol-free.
