Art's Journey: Overcoming Alcohol, Cocaine, and Sex Addiction
“Today I've not come close to relapse and it scares me. That'll be self taken over again if I don't have enough money at retirement.”
Art's story is one you won't forget. A MARR alum from the '90s, he faced the triple threat of alcohol, cocaine, and sex addiction. After his initial treatment in 1996, Art relapsed but found his way back to MARR in 1998. In this episode, he sits down and candidly shares his journey without needing any prompts or questions. His openness about his struggles and triumphs offers a gripping look into the realities of addiction and recovery.
Art talks about the role resentment played in his addiction, how family involvement was crucial to his recovery, and the ever-present fear of relapse. His words, 'Today I've not come close to relapse and it scares me. That'll be self taken over again if I don't have enough money at retirement', resonate deeply.
This episode isn't just about the darkness of addiction; it's a testament to the power of seeking help and the miracles that can happen through 12 Step Recovery. If you're looking for a story that combines raw honesty with hope, this is the one to listen to.
