For people with long-term sobriety, it's important for us to tell on our illness whenever it acts up, regardless of whether I'm days sober or years sober.
Rick W's story is one you won't forget. In this episode of 'Sober Speak', Rick dives deep into his life, sharing the raw and unfiltered experiences that have shaped his journey to sobriety. Growing up with childhood trauma and navigating life as a homosexual alcoholic, Rick's path has been anything but easy. Yet, through it all, he found a way to achieve blind faith by working the steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.
His story is a testament to the highs and lows that come with both active addiction and sobriety. Rick doesn't shy away from discussing how insanity doesn't have an expiration date, emphasizing the ongoing need for making amends and telling on one's illness. This episode sheds light on the profound impact of childhood trauma on addiction, the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in recovery, and the transformative power of forgiveness.
Rick's candid reflections offer valuable lessons for anyone on the path to sobriety, reminding us all of the importance of sharing our stories and seeking common ground in our shared struggles.
