Doug De B AA speaker

In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, Doug De B from Stafford, Texas, shares his remarkable journey of sobriety. Speaking with a blend of humour and raw honesty, Doug recounts his experiences from the last day of his drinking to the profound changes he's made through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). He credits his continuous sobriety since January 16, 1976, to a loving God and the principles of AA's 12 steps.

Doug's storytelling is both engaging and enlightening as he describes the impact of alcoholism on his life and how he found hope and recovery. His anecdotes, such as setting up an intervention for a friend and navigating legal troubles, offer a vivid picture of his struggles and triumphs. Doug also emphasises the importance of humility and community in recovery, reminding us that sobriety is a collective effort.

He candidly discusses the unmanageability of life under the influence and how recognising this led him to a deeper commitment to recovery. Doug's reflections on the spiritual aspects of AA and the transformation in his personal life, including mending his marriage and raising a daughter, provide a powerful testament to the program's effectiveness. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and practical advice on living a sober life.
