David K. AFG speaker

In this heartfelt episode of Recovery Radio Network, David K. shares his journey as an Al-Anon member, starting from his first meeting in Cody after attending a family week at a treatment centre. David's story is filled with relatable moments, from accidentally attending an AA meeting to realising the impact of alcoholism on his family.

He recounts his childhood in New Jersey, where his father's drinking affected his mother deeply, and the dynamics of an alcoholic family became clear to him through the Al-Anon program. David's narrative is rich with anecdotes about his life, including his cross-country motorcycle trip inspired by 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance', and his struggles with relationships and self-worth.

He opens up about the challenges he faced with his wife's drinking and how he learned to focus on his own recovery rather than trying to fix her. Listeners will appreciate David's honesty as he discusses the importance of asking for help, recognising personal responsibilities, and making healthier decisions. His reflections on service work and the support he found in the Al-Anon community offer hope and encouragement to anyone dealing with similar issues.

By sharing his experiences, David provides valuable insights into the journey of recovery and the power of community support. If you're looking for a story that combines personal struggle with a message of resilience, this episode is a must-listen.
