Chris C. AA speaker

In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, Chris C. from Long Beach, California, shares his journey through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) with humour and heartfelt honesty. Chris begins by lightening the mood with a joke about his origins, but quickly dives into the nitty-gritty of his recovery journey. He talks about his commitment to the twelve steps, the importance of spiritual action, and how these principles have shaped his life.

Chris's story is filled with relatable anecdotes, like the time he reluctantly accepted a piece of chocolate cake from a friend, only to realise how far he had come in his recovery journey. He also reflects on the pivotal role his sponsor, Myers, played in guiding him through the steps and maintaining his sobriety.

One of the key themes Chris emphasises is the concept of 'Good Orderly Direction', which he uses to explain how AA's structured approach helped him find stability and purpose. He shares a vivid story about being stuck in a hole and how a fellow recovered alcoholic jumped in to guide him out, illustrating the power of shared experiences in recovery. Chris's candid reflections on his past struggles and current successes offer valuable insights for anyone on their own recovery journey.

Whether you're new to AA or have been attending meetings for years, Chris's story is sure to resonate and inspire.
