I Found Out I Was Adopted At 13, Got My First DUI At 18 & Did 4 Months In Jail | 3.5 Years Sober

Rise Above | Adam Vohra's Story Adam Vohra grew up in Connecticut — a kid of color in a Jewish day school who always felt different. At 13 he found out why. He and his sister had been adopted. Nobody had told them. And six months later he had his first drink. What followed was 15 years of DUIs, gambling debts with drug dealers, dropping out of college, four months in a Connecticut jail, and relapse after relapse. Every time he got sober it was consequence driven. Every time something good happened he went right back out. Then his best friend Lauren called. And he didn't answer. She took her own life shortly after. It wasn't until a recovery coach flew him down to a tiny house in low country South Carolina and a stranger at a local meeting invited him to dinner and read him the Doctor's Opinion that something finally clicked. Now 3.5 years sober Adam has his recovery coaching certification, a nonprofit consulting practice, a podcast and a life built entirely around purpose. This one is for anyone who has tried to get sober for the wrong reasons and keeps ending up back at square one. 🔔 Subscribe for new episodes every week 📲 Follow Adam: @adavohra (Instagram) 🎙️ Finding Purpose Podcast If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction or mental health, you don’t have to do it alone.
