Don M's journey from the depths of alcoholism to a life filled with gratitude and spiritual growth is nothing short of inspiring. In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, Don takes you on a heartfelt and often humorous trip through his struggles and triumphs. He begins by expressing his deep appreciation for being invited to share his story, a far cry from the days when he was only invited to leave.

Don’s tale is peppered with moments of self-reflection, like his battle with following directions and the divine intervention that helped him get sober in April 1981. His candidness about his ego disorder and how it prevented him from recognising a higher power is both eye-opening and relatable. Don’s story also highlights the importance of the Twelve Steps in his recovery journey. He discusses how these steps helped him confront his feelings and maintain his spiritual condition daily.

One particularly touching moment is when he talks about his initial resistance to the concept of a higher power, only to find that surrendering to it was crucial for his recovery. The episode is not just about Don's past but also his present, where he shares his joy in being a part of Alcoholics Anonymous and how it has transformed his life.

From nearly dying in a car crash to becoming a respected member of his community, Don’s story is a testament to the power of recovery and the support of the AA community.
