Brian P. AA speaker

Brian P. takes the mic in this episode of Recovery Radio Network, sharing his raw and riveting journey through alcoholism, crime, and ultimate redemption. With a mix of humour and honesty, Brian recounts his early days of sobriety, starting from his intervention on March 6, 1993. He hilariously acknowledges his 'mediocre sponsorship' while emphasising the importance of having good mentors in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).

His story is filled with surprising twists – from exercising racehorses to robbing banks – making it clear that recovery is far from a straight path. Brian's candid reflections on his time in prison, dealing drugs in AA, and the pivotal moments that led him to genuine sobriety are both shocking and inspiring. He talks about the power of the fellowship in AA, describing it as 'magic inside the halls'.

The episode also touches on the profound impact of family, as Brian shares touching anecdotes about his relationships with his parents and his own children. He reveals how making amends has been a cornerstone of his recovery, even leading to a heartwarming eulogy for his father attended by old friends and fellow AA members.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking an unfiltered look at the highs and lows of recovery, sprinkled with Brian's unique brand of humour and wisdom. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of the transformative power of AA and the importance of community in the journey to sobriety.
