In this captivating episode of Recovery Radio Network, Dr. Gene M. from Florida shares his heartfelt journey through alcoholism and recovery. Speaking in 1986, Dr. Gene reflects on his personal battles with alcohol, drawing poignant parallels between his experience and the process of childbirth. He humorously recounts how he once tried to convince a woman in labour of the benefits of natural childbirth, only to realise later that his alcoholism was just as painful and demanding as her delivery. Dr.
Gene offers a raw and honest look at his struggle, making it clear that only those who have experienced alcoholism can truly understand its impact. His story takes us from the depths of addiction to the hope and renewal found in the 12-step programme of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Through a series of vivid anecdotes, he illustrates the transformative power of recovery, including a memorable moment under a pine tree in the Pocono Mountains where he turned his will over to a higher power. Dr. Gene's narrative is filled with humour, humility, and deep gratitude for the support he received from fellow AA members. His journey underscores the importance of community and spiritual awakening in overcoming addiction. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Dr.
Gene's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible and that you are never alone on this path.
