The beauty of the relationship between a father and son in recovery is that I don't tell them what to do unless they ask for specific direction, and I'm grateful for all that.
Ever wondered how someone can find their way through the chaos of a loved one's alcoholism? Ajit S from California takes us on his journey, starting back in 1980 when he first joined Al-Anon. Speaking at the 58th Sessions by the Sea Conference in Ocean City, Maryland, Ajit opens up about the struggles and triumphs he's experienced along the way. Ajit begins by sharing his background, growing up in Bombay, India, and eventually moving to the United States.
He candidly talks about his relationship with his former wife, who battled alcoholism, and his initial attempts to control her drinking. It wasn't until he discovered Al-Anon that he realized the importance of focusing on his own growth and recovery. Throughout his talk, Ajit emphasizes the need to practice the steps and truly commit to the Al-Anon program to see real progress.
He highlights that merely reading the literature or discussing the steps isn't enough; one must actively engage in the work to achieve meaningful results. Ajit also underscores the importance of vulnerability and authenticity in recovery, especially when facing difficult emotions and situations. One of the most touching aspects of Ajit's story is the special bond he shares with his son, who is also in recovery.
Their relationship is built on mutual respect and understanding, and Ajit is always there to offer support and guidance when needed. He speaks to the beauty of relationships in recovery and how they can be a source of strength and inspiration. Ajit's talk serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing journey of growth and progress that is possible for anyone dealing with alcoholism in a loved one.
His experiences and reflections offer valuable insights into the power of Al-Anon and the importance of committing to the program for real change. Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this path for years, Ajit's story is sure to resonate and inspire.
