Nick had tried sobriety before but struggled to be honest with himself and others. Changing that would change everything.

Nick joins the show; he has been sober for 10 years and shares his journey from substance abuse to sobriety. Nick describes his childhood marked by his parents' separation, their struggle with substance abuse, and his own progression into alcoholism and drug use. He ventures into various attempts at sobriety that he was unable to maintain. Nick hit many bottoms, including losing everything, and after being charged with a felony, he had a choice to make. Along the path, Nick tried many methods of achieving sobriety, but there was always one thing holding him back from the change he desired so much. This is Nick’s story on the Sober Motivation podcast.------------------FREE 30- Day Trial to SoberBuddy: https://community.yoursoberbuddy.com/plans/368200?bundle_token=8d76ca38d63813200c6c1f46cb3bdbed&utm_source=manualFollow Nick on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/breathofliferecovery808/Nick's Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1956955860?ref_=cm_sw_r_mwn_dp_2SMDP9Q8QRQ2CPF25GJT&language=en_USFollow Sober Motivation on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sobermotivation/ 00:18 Guest's Early Life and Family Background00:36 Exposure to Substance Abuse and Early Experiences01:32 Adolescent Struggles and First Encounter with Addiction02:08 Dealing with Dishonesty and Fear03:42 Escaping Reality through Television04:20 The Role of Drugs and Alcohol in Coping05:46 Downward Spiral into Addiction06:48 Moving to Hawaii: A Failed Attempt at a Fresh Start08:32 First Attempt at Sobriety and Relapse13:42 Journey to Surrender: The Struggle to Get Sober20:45 Rebuilding Relationships and Life in Recovery25:55 The Last Chance at Recovery26:11 Committing to the Recovery Process26:30 Facing the Reality of Life's Challenges28:50 The Turning Point: Choosing Sobriety30:16 The Journey to Sobriety and Service34:28 The Power of Honesty and Change36:20 Building a New Life in Recovery42:47 The Impact of Breathwork on Recovery49:59 The Power of Consciousness in Overcoming Addiction51:44 Closing Thoughts on the Recovery JourneySober Motivation Mobile App: https://apps.apple.com/app/sober-motivation-app/id6759266291Sober Motivation Website: https://www.sobermotivation.comSupport the Podcast: https://buymeacoffee.com/sobermotivationContact me anytime: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
