In this podcast, I interview Andrew a 30-year-old professional, clean and sober for more than 6 years.
The topics we covered were:
- It’s rare that an addict or alcoholic becomes addicted to only one substance, “poly-addiction” is the norm.
- Mother is the great enabler. She tries to help him stop, while at the same time allows him to live rent-free in her second home.
- Andrew hated the way he felt, and wanted to stop, but didn’t know how to.
- He came to realize that he could not quit on his own and needed to reach out and beg for help.
- Connecting to other young recovering people got him into his first 12 step meeting where he surrendered his old ways of thinking, and he’s been clean and sober ever since.
