In this part #1, I share a few of my most profound insights that have led me to learn how to both get sober and stay sober.
This audio journal has several solid take ways - the number #1 lesson that I learned and want to share is:
I did not understand that a medical detox could have saved me years of attempting to get sober - I spent a few years trying to not drink for a day - because I was addicted I could not stop drinking for 1 day.
I wanted to stop drinking - I was willing to stop drinking - I was ready to stop drinking but I could not because I was addicted to alcohol - a medical detox is what I need to get through this most imperative first obstacle.
The primary reason for this podcast is to Chronicle my journey in addiction recovery. I share what I'm going through and the lessons that I've learned in the sincere hope that what I share will help someone else make the transition from addicted to sober.
