In this heartfelt episode of Recovery Radio Network, you'll hear from Bob M., an AA speaker with a compelling story of transformation and gratitude. Bob takes you on a journey through his early struggles with alcoholism, moving from the East Coast to Southern California and then to New Mexico, all in search of a solution to his drinking problem.
His anecdotes are both poignant and humorous, like the time he learned to take out the trash at a barbecue, a moment that symbolised his willingness to change and be part of a community. Bob's story is filled with moments of realisation, such as the time he finally understood the importance of the AA fellowship when members came to his institution to hold meetings.

His reflections on his early days in recovery, attending lunchtime meetings and learning appropriate behaviour, offer valuable lessons for anyone struggling with addiction.
