What remarkable journeys have people faced head-on against addiction? In this episode of 'Life Recovery Today,' Corey Busk shares his deeply personal story of overcoming alcohol addiction. Once a high-functioning drinker, Corey's life took a turn when his drinking habits led to job loss and a wake-up call from a mentor. His journey to sobriety is filled with moments of doubt, self-reflection, and the eventual embrace of a life free from alcohol.
Corey discusses his initial resistance to acknowledging his problem and how a supportive community helped him find his way to a treatment centre. His narrative highlights the power of surrender and the role it plays in recovery, aligning with biblical principles and the 12-step program championed by host Stephen Arterburn. The episode delves into the importance of routine, community support, and finding new interests to replace old habits.
Corey also touches on the stigma surrounding addiction and the transformative experience of being part of a recovery group, which he describes as the truest form of community he's ever known. Through humour and honesty, Corey and Stephen explore what it means to truly surrender and the continuous journey of self-forgiveness and growth. This episode isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about embracing a new identity and finding joy in helping others on their recovery paths.
