To the addict who's still suffering: there is a way. You never have to have that feeling again.
Alan's story is a raw and honest account of a life once dominated by cocaine. Imagine waking up late every day, dragging yourself to work only to make enough money for your next fix. That was Alan's reality for over two decades. His descent into addiction began in college with marijuana, quickly escalating to cocaine. The first time he tried it, he felt like a new person—handsome, confident, and invincible.
But that fleeting high turned into a relentless chase that consumed his life. Working at a deli restaurant, Alan would stay as long as it took to earn enough for his nightly purchase from his dealer. His job and relationships suffered, and he found himself in a downward spiral. It wasn't until he hit rock bottom that he realized he needed help. Alan found solace and support in Cocaine Anonymous, a fellowship that played a crucial role in his recovery.
He talks about the importance of never giving up hope and how adopting a new mindset was key to his sobriety. His journey underscores the power of support systems and the courage it takes to seek help. Alan's story is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction, showing that transformation is possible through perseverance and a shift in perspective.
