When it comes to alcohol, I guess that is the most fitting description when it comes to alcohol that I ever could be, because it is such a powerful drug and the key thing of the disease of alcoholism is that the drug makes you convinced that you have no problem with alcohol.
Ever felt like alcohol has a sneaky way of weaving itself into your life? Donald Lee knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff sits down with Donald, a spiritual author and speaker, to unpack his on-again/off-again relationship with alcohol. Donald’s story is a vivid reminder of how alcohol can subtly take control, sometimes without us even realizing it.
He shares his struggles, how he often found himself on the edge of addiction, and what it took for him to regain control. Donald’s journey is not just about battling alcohol; it's intertwined with his lifelong spiritual quest. He talks about how past traumas and the emotional baggage we carry can make us vulnerable to addiction. The conversation also touches on the impact of racism on addiction and the importance of living in the present moment.
Through his experiences, Donald transformed his relationship with alcohol from a means of escape to a source of joy and spiritual growth. Donald uses music as a metaphor for spiritual growth, drawing from his diverse background as a musician, teacher, and band director. His insights are not only inspiring but also deeply relatable for anyone who feels 'not quite addicted, but not quite in control either'.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of finding balance and meaning in life, even when faced with the insidious nature of alcohol. Tune in to hear how Donald’s journey can offer hope and practical advice for those navigating similar paths.
