“"I'm a real alcoholic, a total alcoholic. Everything about me is alcoholic."”
In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, Mickey B. takes the stage with a raw and humorous account of his journey through alcoholism and addiction. With a mix of candid confessions and laugh-out-loud anecdotes, Mickey paints a vivid picture of his life as a 'real alcoholic'—someone who identifies entirely with the disease. His storytelling is both gritty and heartwarming, offering listeners a rollercoaster of emotions from laughter to tears.
He touches on the importance of the twelve steps, sharing his experiences across various anonymous programs like AA, NA, and CA. Mickey’s reflections on hitting rock bottom are particularly poignant, challenging the conventional idea that it’s about external circumstances. Instead, he argues, it's an internal collapse that truly signifies hitting bottom. His tales from New York to London, and even a party at Buckingham Palace, add a colourful backdrop to his message of hope and recovery.
Through his humour and honesty, Mickey emphasises the transformative power of asking for help and finding a higher power. If you're looking for an episode that blends humour with deep insights into the recovery journey, Mickey B.'s story is one you won't want to miss.
