👉Quitting Alcohol? 1:1 Sober Coaching. https://shop.beacons.ai/soberstrong/sobercoaching 👉More Sober Content: https://beacons.ai/soberstrong ☕ NIKAO Coffee is here: https://thesoberstrong.myshopify.com/ He tried to take one last drink... but what came out wasn’t whiskey. That’s when Matt knew he was dying. Matt shares the moment that changed his life forever, his years of battling addiction, and what it took to claw his way back from rock bottom. Now, over 4 years sober, he opens up about the painful truth behind alcoholism, medical trauma, and healing. Rock bottom is real—and terrifying: Matt’s body rejected alcohol in a near-fatal moment, forcing him to call for help and confront reality. Addiction is often generational: Multiple family members suffered from liver failure or overdose, showing how deeply alcoholism can run in families. Sobriety doesn't equal instant healing: Matt still battles long-term effects like neuropathy, cirrhosis, and PTSD from his hospital stay. Recovery requires more than quitting: Therapy, purpose, and small daily actions (like walking with a cane or eating right) are part of rebuilding life. Your story can help others: Matt is now starting a podcast to help others navigate recovery, proving you don’t need to be perfect to make an impact. #sobrietyjourney #recoveryjourney #quittingalcohol
