I love Alcoholics Anonymous, I love God, and I love being sober, and I don't apologize for any of them anymore.
Imagine embarking on a journey that starts in the depths of addiction and leads to a life filled with hope and redemption. That's the powerful story Ed M shares in this episode of Sober Cast. Sober since 1971, Ed takes listeners back to his early days of recovery, speaking at the 13th Annual Convention of We Are Not Saints in Chicago, 2005. Ed's story is a testament to the transformative power of Alcoholics Anonymous.
He vividly recounts the support and community he found within AA, which played a crucial role in his journey to sobriety. As he puts it, 'alive in her was the magic of Alcoholics Anonymous'. His reflections offer valuable insights into the importance of welcoming new members and extending kindness to those just starting their recovery. Faith also plays a significant role in Ed's narrative.
He speaks candidly about his relationship with God and the importance of surrendering to a higher power. This spiritual aspect, combined with mental and physical discipline, helped him maintain his sobriety over the years. Ed's heartfelt words about faith and discipline provide a source of inspiration for anyone grappling with addiction. Throughout his testimony, Ed emphasizes the value of community and the need to support one another in recovery.
He recalls the warmth and acceptance he received when he first walked into an AA meeting and stresses the importance of extending that same warmth to others. Ed's journey is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding a new way of life through faith, community, and discipline. His story is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction or seeking inspiration.
