I want to be number one, and I don't think that's an addictive personality. I want to take on some of the hardest things, and you know where the issue with that is, is that my personality isn't of someone who opens up a lot and engages in the sharing of feelings, and especially those feelings of stress.
Have you ever wondered what it takes to overcome a deep-rooted alcohol addiction? In this episode of 'Sobriety.Matters', host Dusty Koekenberg opens up about his personal battle with alcoholism and his path to recovery. Dusty takes listeners back to his early days, sharing how a seemingly typical all-American childhood and a thriving career in tech spiraled into a painful struggle with alcohol.
His story isn't just about the lows; it's also about the turning points and the tools that helped him climb back up. After the tragic loss of a close family friend, Dusty found himself in a three-year battle with alcoholism that he couldn't control. But this episode isn't just about the dark times. Dusty candidly shares the strategies that have kept him sober for over two and a half years.
From attending AA meetings to being transparent with his family, and regularly engaging with recovery literature, Dusty's approach is both practical and relatable. He also touches on the idea that addiction often goes hand-in-hand with underlying trauma, offering a deeper understanding of the complexities involved. This episode serves as an introduction not just to Dusty's story, but to the broader mission of 'Sobriety.Matters': to provide a platform for individuals to share their recovery journeys openly and honestly.
Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Dusty's story offers valuable insights and a sense of hope. Tune in to hear a raw, unfiltered account of one man's journey from the depths of addiction to the heights of sustained sobriety.
