What makes a recovery story truly inspiring? In this episode of Mad Dog Recovery AA Speakers, Chris S. takes the stage at the Step-Tember to Remember Workshop to share his personal journey through Steps Four and Five of the Alcoholics Anonymous program. With his engaging storytelling style, Chris captivates the audience by recounting his own struggles with alcoholism, painting a vivid picture of the relentless cycle of addiction he experienced over 19 years.
He humorously recounts the chaotic days of his life before recovery, filled with regretful mornings and resolutions to quit that were broken by the afternoon. Chris highlights the profound impact of the AA 12-step programme, particularly Steps Four and Five, which focus on self-inventory and confession. He emphasises that the root of an alcoholic's troubles often lies in selfishness and self-centredness, which can lead to isolation and a disconnect from any form of spirituality.
Through candid anecdotes, Chris shares how recognising and addressing these traits through spiritual exercises helped him confront his issues and find peace. Listeners will be inspired by Chris's honest recounting of his battle with alcoholism, his journey towards spiritual awakening, and his transformation into a 'happily and usefully whole' individual. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the power of the 12-step programme and its ability to change lives.
