David B. Bohl's Journey: From Adoption to Addiction Recovery

I need to be reminded of that, because you know what I am.
Ever wondered how early life experiences shape addiction and recovery? In this episode of 'Beyond Belief Sobriety', John S sits down with David B. Bohl, author of 'Parallel Universes: The Story of Rebirth'. David opens up about his childhood, his adoption, and how these formative years influenced his path to addiction. He doesn't shy away from discussing the tough stuff—like the trauma of sharing personal stories in group therapy and the pitfalls of ego deflation in AA.
Instead, he offers a raw, honest look at what it means to recover in a secular way. Plus, David touches on the surprising benefits of DNA testing for adoptees. This episode is packed with personal anecdotes and broader insights, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating their own recovery journey or supporting someone who is. Get ready for an engaging, heartfelt conversation that offers more than just surface-level advice.
