How Dean Anderson Found Himself Sober | The Way Out Podcast Episode 379

In this edition of The Way Out I’m pleased to bring you my interview with husband, father, person in long term recovery and Author of the book Finding Myself Sober, Dean Anderson. Dean shares his journey to and through Recovery to this point with us with genuine humor, humility and an unmistakable wisdom that can only come from doing the work and practicing certain recovery principles on a daily basis. Dean’s story is proof positive alcoholism and addiction doesn’t discriminate. As we demonstrate often on this podcast, having an idyllic childhood is no guarantee against developing alcohol or substance use disorder despite the high prevalence of trauma and mental health disorders among those of us who identify as persons in Recovery. Dean’s story and his book bring to light key Recovery principles that underlay the 12-Step program of Recovery that are in fact universally applicable to all of us whom are looking for a practical way to implement positive change in our lives as we progress in our individual recovery so listen up.   Learn more about Finding Myself Sober by Dean S Anderson: https://a.co/d/4AZB7xz Recovery literature (quit-lit) recommendation: The Shack by William P.
