All that I sought and desired and needed when I was years old as a child, had come to me in this fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous, as the result of these deaths, as a result of love, God's love, which is that light that lighteth every man and has lit my life through men like you and you.
Step back in time to 1969 and meet Jack B from Roanoke, Virginia. In this episode of Sober Cast, Jack shares his compelling journey to sobriety. Speaking at an unknown conference in Dallas, Texas, Jack recounts how he became sober in 1953 and the profound impact AA had on his life. His story is a heartfelt exploration of faith, fellowship, and the slow but steady path to recovery.
Jack's narrative isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about finding a deeper connection with God and the community around him. He emphasizes the significance of sponsorship and the supportive network within AA, painting a vivid picture of how these elements played crucial roles in his recovery. Jack also touches on the dangers of alcoholism, describing how it had wreaked havoc on his life long before he sought help.
His speech is a testament to the transformative power of AA and the love of God, ending with a poignant quote from Emily Haskins: 'I said to the man who stood at The Gate Of The Year: give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown'. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and a reminder of the strength found in faith and community.
