But once the once, alcohol stops doing something for you and only does something to you. And I was at that place and I can't imagine life with it because it's bad now and I don't drink when I drink, I don't, I can't.
Imagine finding yourself in a place as remote and beautiful as Reykjavik, Iceland, yet feeling completely lost. That's where Bob D's story begins. In this episode of Sober Cast, Bob D from Las Vegas, NV, takes the stage at The Men Among Men Groups 3rd Annual Conference in May 2006 to share his gripping journey through alcoholism and recovery.
Bob's tale isn't just about the struggle; it's about the countless attempts to get his life back on track before finally finding solace in Alcoholics Anonymous. Bob's narrative is raw and honest. He opens up about his seven-year battle with alcohol, trying everything but AA to curb his addiction. His turning point? Meeting a sponsor who guided him through the program, teaching him to embrace actions he never thought he'd take.
This episode sheds light on the critical role of a sponsor and the transformative power of following their guidance. One of the most striking aspects of Bob's story is his candid discussion about the 'phenomenon of craving'—that relentless itch that comes with quitting drinking. He shares how he tried to scratch that itch with everything but the right solution, until AA provided the relief he desperately needed. Bob's journey is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction.
His story underscores that it's never too late to seek help and that recovery is possible with the right support. Tune in to hear Bob D's powerful message and find inspiration in his path to sobriety.
