What remarkable journeys have people faced head-on against addiction? In this episode of the Keep Coming Back Podcast, Tommy from Orange County shares his powerful story of battling anxiety, OCD, and addiction, leading to his current years of sobriety. Growing up in a loving family, Tommy faced mental health challenges from a young age, which he initially managed with medication. However, this led him to believe he needed substances to feel normal.
By high school, Tommy was experimenting with marijuana and other drugs, eventually spiralling into a full-blown addiction. Tommy candidly discusses the pivotal moments that led him to seek help, including a life-threatening car accident and the realisation that he needed a change. Through the support of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), he found the structure and accountability necessary for recovery. Tommy's journey highlights the importance of willingness and effort in embracing sobriety and finding peace.
