“"If it had not been for you, if it had not been for these 12 steps, you know what I would have done? I would have gone to my grave or her grave, never having experienced that moment of intimacy."”
David L. takes the stage in this episode of Recovery Radio Network to share his journey through alcoholism and the path to recovery. With a mix of humour and heartfelt anecdotes, David recounts his experiences, from the quirky breakfast gatherings to the profound realisation that he had a disease called alcoholism. He candidly talks about his moment of clarity on April 4, 1988, when he first saw the impact of his actions on himself and those around him.
David's storytelling is both entertaining and enlightening as he navigates through the ups and downs of his recovery process, touching on themes like selfishness, family dynamics, and the importance of faith and hope in the twelve-step programme. His reflections on relationships, particularly with his mother and son, highlight the transformative power of recovery and the ability to rebuild connections once lost to addiction. This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with laughter, tears, and moments of deep introspection.
It's a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and understanding in their own recovery journey or supporting someone who is. So, are you ready to hear David's story and find a bit of your own in it?
