Episode 13: Mark P. of Sacramento California - The Drunk Squad Group of AA

In this episode of Solis R's SoberTexas Podcast, Mark P. from Sacramento, California, shares his incredible journey from addiction to sobriety. Mark's story is filled with raw honesty and heartfelt moments, making it both relatable and inspiring. He speaks candidly about his struggles, including a traumatic childhood event that deeply affected him, and his battles with alcoholism that led him to hit rock bottom multiple times.

Mark's anecdotes, such as his humorous encounter with a cop in Santa Cruz, bring a touch of lightness to his otherwise serious narrative. He reflects on the false sense of pride he developed early on and how it led to people-pleasing behaviours that he still works on today. Mark's experience in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) has been transformative.

He talks about the importance of finding a good sponsor and how his current sponsor, Katie, has helped him through fear inventories and accountability. Mark's dedication to his recovery is evident as he discusses his two years and seven months of sobriety and the profound changes in his life. From filing taxes to reconnecting with family, Mark's story is a testament to the power of AA and the support of a strong community.

If you're looking for a story of resilience, hope, and a bit of humour, this episode is a must-listen.
