In this heartfelt episode of Recovery Radio Network, Bo T. shares his moving journey through Al-Anon, offering a raw and honest perspective on living with a loved one struggling with alcoholism. Hailing from Hewittown, Alabama, Bo recounts his life before and after finding Al-Anon, reflecting on the transformation that the program and its community brought into his life.
He talks about the confusion and pain he felt four and a half years ago, and how he found clarity and direction through the grace of God and the support of the program. Bo's story is filled with gratitude for the people who helped him along the way, and he takes a moment to thank those in AA for sharing their program with families like his.
He candidly discusses the guilt he carried, believing he was responsible for his wife's drinking, and how he learned to let go of that burden through Al-Anon. Bo's emotional recollections include moments of crying and choking up, but he reassures the audience that it's okay to show emotions. He humorously shares a borrowed opening line from a Catholic priest friend: 'I was born at a very early age,' which sets the tone for his reflective narrative.

He describes the turning point when he realized he needed to change and sought help from Al-Anon, leading to a deeper understanding of alcoholism as a disease. Bo's story is not just about his struggles but also about the hope and healing that comes from working the 12 steps and finding a supportive community.
His journey is a testament to the power of recovery programs in transforming lives and relationships. If you're looking for an inspiring story of resilience and recovery, Bo's candid account will leave you with a sense of hope and gratitude.
