In this episode of SoberQ, Will shares his personal journey through the chaotic waters of alcoholism, reflecting on how his drinking habits spiralled into unmanageable territory. From seemingly minor incidents like being grounded by his parents to more serious consequences like arrests and hospital visits, Will paints a vivid picture of the external chaos brought on by his drinking.
But it wasn't just the outside world that suffered; internally, Will grappled with fear, dissatisfaction, and the false belief that he could control his life through sheer willpower. As he opens up about his struggles with debt, relationships, and constant worry, Will's story becomes a cautionary tale about the dangers of trying to manage life while under the influence of alcohol.
He candidly discusses how joining AA helped him shift his perspective from external control to internal peace, recognising the spiritual and emotional aspects of unmanageability. Through Will's narrative, you might find yourself reflecting on your own experiences or those of loved ones, pondering the true meaning of 'unmanageable' and the path to sobriety. If you're curious about how one's life can transform when alcohol is no longer in control, Will's story is a must-listen.
