  • Summary

  • What if sharing your story could save someone's life? This episode is a heartfelt conversation with my friend James Fye, who bravely opens up about his journey from addiction to recovery. James started drinking at the age of 12 and hit rock bottom on Christmas Eve 2010, but today, he celebrates 13 years of sobriety. His story is a testament to the incredible power of resilience and the importance of speaking out to inspire others to seek help.

    I also share my own struggles with cocaine and alcohol, revealing how addiction wreaked havoc on my personal and professional life. From the exhilarating highs to the devastating lows, I talk about the dangerous behaviors and broken relationships that stemmed from substance abuse. As a fireman, the job's immense pressure only worsened my drinking problem, which ultimately led to the collapse of my first marriage. This episode sheds light on the hidden battles of addiction and emphasizes the urgency of confronting these issues for ourselves and our loved ones.

    We also discuss the transformative impact of Alcoholics Anonymous and the critical role of community support in the recovery journey. From James' life-changing encounter with a dedicated sponsor to my own experiences with service work in AA, we highlight the importance of mentoring and embracing a higher power. This episode underscores that addiction isn't just an individual's fight—it's a community crisis. By sharing our stories and supporting one another, we can create an environment where true healing and transformation are possible.
