Once I've worked the steps and I've had a total psychic change, which is a spiritual awakening, I have to go find me another one that was in the grips of just like I was, and walk him through steps cause, cause I get to watch for what it puts me back in the book again and I get to go back through the book again with somebody else, and I get to watch this man's life develop back to life again, like mine, like I did, and- and it's a beautiful thing- watching another human being get their life back together, get their kids back, get their jobs back, enter peace in their cells.
Ever wondered what it really takes to stay sober and happy? Tom Mabe, a comedian and sobriety advocate, dives into his personal battle with alcohol addiction in this episode of 'Sober Talk'. Known for his humor and honesty, Tom shares his journey from drinking heavily since the age of nine to finally finding a path to sobriety. His story isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about finding joy and fulfillment without it.
He talks about the critical role face-to-face meetings have played in his recovery and how these interactions have kept him grounded and motivated. Tom's journey also touches on the spiritual side of recovery. He describes his 'total psychic change', a kind of spiritual awakening that has been pivotal in his sobriety. This episode isn't just about Tom's story, though. It opens up a broader conversation about the causes of addiction, questioning whether it's hereditary or influenced by our environment.
Tom invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences and join the discussion. One particularly relatable moment is when Tom candidly shares a recent slip-up with Dayquil, reminding us that the road to recovery is rarely smooth. But it's his resilience and the support from therapy, community, and personal relationships that shine through. He emphasizes how helping others in their recovery journeys has been both rewarding and enlightening for him.
'Sober Talk' isn't just a podcast; it's a community where people can share their struggles, celebrate their victories, and find real connections. Whether you're sober curious, in the early stages of sobriety, or a long-time teetotaler, Tom's candid discussions offer both insight and companionship. Tune in to hear real stories and practical advice from someone who's been there and understands the journey.
