"I had to go away. I can't do this no longer."
Gary Hendler and Mark Sigmund bring a touch of humour to Clean and Sober Radio as they welcome Lou Montana, a guest with a truly inspiring story. Lou's journey from addiction to recovery is one of resilience and determination. Growing up in a household marked by violence, Lou faced many challenges that led him down a path of substance abuse.
Despite these hurdles, he managed to turn his life around, proving that life can indeed be better without drugs and alcohol. Lou shares his experiences with a candid honesty that makes his story relatable. He recounts the moment he decided to seek help, a decision sparked by hitting rock bottom. With nothing left to lose, Lou embraced recovery and has since become a beacon of hope for others facing similar struggles.
His dedication to sobriety is evident in his commitment to attending meetings and sponsoring others on their recovery journeys. The episode takes a lighter turn with amusing anecdotes about raccoons with meth pipes and discussions about the peculiarities of drug culture. These stories, while bizarre, serve as reminders of the strange world of addiction that Lou has left behind.
Listeners will find Lou's story both heartwarming and motivating, especially when he talks about how he now enjoys life more than ever before. His tale is a testament to the power of recovery and the support systems available to those who seek them. If you're looking for a dose of inspiration mixed with some light-hearted humour, this episode is a must-listen. It’s a reminder that recovery is possible and life without substances can be fulfilling.
