Faisal N: A Journey from Chaos to Clarity in Sobriety

Those who want to get sober just will not let go of the bit and we'll do whatever it takes for sobriety.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after hitting rock bottom? Faisal N. is here to share his gripping tale of overcoming addiction and finding peace. With over 16 years of sobriety under his belt, Faisal’s story is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, making it a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction. Raised in a family with strong religious beliefs that frowned upon alcohol, Faisal's early life seemed destined for success. However, life had other plans.
Moving to Beirut at a young age and later grappling with the chaos of civil war, Faisal's journey took many unexpected turns. By the age of 37, alcohol and cocaine had nearly destroyed his personal and professional life. Workaholism only added fuel to the fire, pushing him further away from his family and friends. But it was in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous that Faisal found his lifeline.
Admitting he needed help was the first step in his incredible journey to recovery. Today, he’s not just sober; he’s thriving. Faisal dives into the nitty-gritty of his recovery process, from the daily meetings that keep him grounded to the importance of exercise and self-care. He also talks about the crucial role of unconditional love and support from family and friends in maintaining his sobriety.
Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Faisal’s story offers valuable insights and hope. Tune in to hear how he balances work, family, and recovery, proving that a fulfilling life after addiction is possible.
