I have a disease and that is how there's no cure for it, but it can be held in remission if you like, and the only way to do that is to keep going to meetings and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety and not picking up that first drink, whatever it is.
Ever wondered what it's like to maintain sobriety for nearly four decades? Meet John, a recovering alcoholic who has been sober for 38 years. In this episode of the Alcoholics Anonymous Radio Show, John takes us through his rollercoaster journey of addiction and recovery. He opens up about the dark days filled with blackouts and the profound realisation of his alcoholism that turned his life upside down.
From the impact on his career to the strain on his personal life, John doesn't hold back. But his story isn't just about the struggles; it's about finding a lifeline in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous. John shares how the 12-step program not only helped him stay sober but also introduced him to a spiritual path he never thought he'd find.
He emphasises the importance of taking life one day at a time and leaning on a higher power for strength. A cornerstone of his recovery has been helping others, a principle deeply rooted in AA's philosophy. This episode wraps up with the serenity prayer, echoing the practice followed at every AA meeting. Whether you're grappling with alcoholism or just curious about how AA works, John's story offers a raw and hopeful look into the transformative power of the 12-step program.
