Alcoholics anonymous is not for those that need it. Alcoholics anonymous is not for those that want it.
Ever wondered what it takes to climb out of the depths of alcoholism? Chris C from Portland, Oregon, shares his raw and honest story in this episode of Sober Cast. Speaking at a Carlsbad Workshop in December 2005, Chris opens up about his tumultuous relationship with alcohol, the guilt that haunted him after each binge, and the moment he hit rock bottom.
His tale isn't just about quitting drinking; it's about surrendering to the reality of his addiction and embracing the support of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Chris delves into the significance of spirituality in his recovery and how working through the AA steps helped him tackle underlying issues. One of the standout moments in his story is his emphasis on community. Hearing other members' stories gave him a sense of belonging and made him feel less isolated in his struggles.
He also highlights the dangers of untreated alcoholism and stresses the importance of seeking help. Chris's journey is peppered with lessons about overcoming guilt and shame, and he leaves listeners with a thought-provoking quote: 'Alcoholics Anonymous is not for those that need it. Alcoholics Anonymous is not for those that want it.' This powerful sentiment underscores the necessity of a genuine willingness to change and a commitment to the AA program.
This episode offers a poignant look into the challenges and triumphs of recovery, making it a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
