Imagine reaching the age of 94 with 44 years of sobriety under your belt. That's Bud S.'s incredible story, shared in this episode of AA Recovery Interviews. Hosted by Howard L., Bud opens up about his late start with drinking, which quickly spiraled into a full-blown addiction, claiming the lives of his father and both sisters along the way. Despite a successful career, Bud's evenings and weekends were marred by alcohol, eventually leading to more frequent binges and blackouts.
His downward spiral reached its nadir when his wife expelled him from their home, forcing him to confront his addiction head-on at the age of 49. From that moment on, Bud embraced the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous wholeheartedly, never looking back. In this candid conversation, Bud shares the pivotal moments that led to his recovery, the challenges he faced, and how AA became his lifeline.
His story is not just about personal redemption but also about giving back through sponsorship and interventions. Bud's journey is a testament to the transformative power of AA and serves as an inspiring beacon for anyone struggling with alcoholism. Tune in to hear how Bud's attitude towards life and gratitude has shaped his long and illustrious sobriety.
