Anthony D. AA speaker

Anthony D. takes the mic in this episode of Recovery Radio Network, sharing his raw and heartfelt journey through alcoholism and sobriety. Growing up in Seaside, California, Anthony recounts his early years, feeling 'less than' and turning to tobacco at just 10 years old. His story is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, from his teenage escapades with homemade wine to working on fishing boats where the crew's motto seemed to be 'drink hard, work harder'.

Anthony's candidness about his struggles with addiction and the numerous attempts to control his drinking offers a brutally honest look at the life of an alcoholic. He talks about hitting rock bottom, losing friends, and facing legal troubles, but also about the pivotal moments that pushed him towards recovery. Anthony's reflections on the importance of community, the 12-step programme, and the support of his sponsors are both inspiring and relatable. His message is clear: don't wait to make a change.

Hang out with the winners, follow the steps, and don’t try to go it alone. This episode is a must-listen for anyone in recovery or supporting someone who is.
