I used to joke that it was a New Year's resolution gone horribly awry, you know, honest to God, it was like the 80s almost took me out.
Ever wondered how a simple mix-up can lead to a life-changing experience? In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, Barclay D. shares his incredible journey from the depths of alcoholism to a life filled with gratitude and connection. With his signature humour and candid storytelling, Barclay recounts the hilarious mishap of flying to the wrong city and how it ultimately brought him closer to his daughter.
His sobriety date, January 1st, 1990, marks the beginning of a new chapter in his life, one that he navigates with the help of his home group, the Page 112 Group in Old Hickory, Tennessee. Barclay's story is filled with both light-hearted moments and deeply emotional experiences. He talks about the chaos of growing up in an alcoholic home, losing family members to addiction, and his own battles with substance abuse.
Yet, through it all, he finds solace and strength in the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous. His tale of reconnecting with his daughter after years of estrangement is particularly moving, showcasing the power of recovery and the importance of following the guidance provided by AA. The episode is not just a recounting of past struggles but a testament to the transformative power of sobriety.
Barclay's anecdotes about his early drinking days, his humorous takes on AA meetings, and his heartfelt gratitude towards his support network make this episode both entertaining and inspiring. If you're looking for a story that blends humour with profound life lessons, this episode is a must-listen. So, why should you tune in? Barclay's journey offers hope and encouragement to anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
His honest reflections and infectious positivity remind us that recovery is possible and that we are never alone in our battles.
