Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around from the depths of addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for others? Meet Terry G, a lifelong friend of Sobertown Podcast host Drifter and his late brother Mark. Terry's journey is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Growing up in Alaska with parents battling their own demons, Terry found himself ensnared by alcohol and drugs at a young age.
His life spiraled into chaos, marked by run-ins with the law and personal turmoil. But everything changed when his friend Mark introduced him to Narcotics Anonymous. Though skeptical at first, Terry embraced sobriety for five years, experiencing the joys of a drug-free life. However, the grip of addiction pulled him back into a dark period of methamphetamine abuse and crime. It was only after hitting rock bottom that Terry truly committed to recovery through Alcoholics Anonymous.
Today, Terry is not just sober; he's an incredible husband, father, grandfather, and friend who continues to work the 12 Steps and give back to those struggling with addiction. His story is a compelling reminder that no matter how deep the trenches, there is always a way out.
