I fell absolutely in love when I saw my first concentrated doses of dishonesty, unbridled ego, and self-will-run riot.
Ever wondered what it’s like to turn your life around after hitting rock bottom? In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, Don M., an AA speaker, takes you on a journey through his battle with alcoholism and his path to sobriety. Speaking candidly from a 1991 talk, Don shares his story with a mix of humour and raw honesty, making it both relatable and inspiring.
He opens up about the trials and tribulations of being a lawyer in Louisville, Kentucky, whose life spiralled out of control due to alcohol. His vivid recounting of personal experiences – from losing his law practice to almost losing his life – is gripping and heartfelt. Don’s reflections on the 12-step program highlight the transformative power of AA, as he discusses how these steps helped him rebuild his life piece by piece.
You’ll laugh at his anecdotes, like the one about St. Peter and the lawyer’s billing records, but you’ll also feel the weight of his struggles and triumphs. If you’re looking for a story that’s as entertaining as it is enlightening, this episode is a must-listen. Don’s journey is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the incredible support found within the recovery community.
