E71: Eric Was Just Another Drunk

Send us a text

Eric found him self on the kitchen floor, drunk and getting sick.  It was a low place for him and took another two weeks before he found his way to a rehab.  He ended up in the hospital with blood clots and was lucky to be alive.  Looking around, he realized they saw him as just another drunk and he accepted it too.  He was just another drunk.

Against all odds, Eric found a way to stay sober through the help of his 12 step program.  In this episode:

  • Eric talked about his faith, the role prayer takes in his life and how praying has helped him overcome resentments
  • Posting a video each day, for a year, reading from the 24 hour book and how it helped someone close to him
  • Driving a big star from the airport, having to make the first stop, a run to the liquor store

Eric's story is inspiring and we think you'll find so much to identify with.
