The trick is you don't stay around till they're over. I just got out of doing months down in South Texas for something that I was a victim of circumstances for. I didn't want to rush into anything, so we didn't. We kind of pontificated the residue for a couple of years there and at the end of a couple of years I didn't have anything going for me any more than I did when I first met her.
Ever wondered if you can find humor in the midst of recovery? Keith D from Yorba Linda, California, shows that it's not only possible but incredibly uplifting. Recorded at a convention in Nashville, Tennessee, back in July 1989, Keith's talk is a delightful mix of comedy and heartfelt insights. He kicks off with a hilarious joke about his father, who is also in AA, setting the tone for a session that's both entertaining and deeply meaningful.
Keith's story isn't just about laughs, though. He dives into the serious side of alcoholism, sharing his personal battles and the pivotal role AA meetings have played in his journey. He emphasizes the importance of the 12 steps and having a sponsor, weaving these elements into his narrative with a blend of wit and wisdom. His reflections on faith and its impact on his sobriety add another layer of depth to his talk. Listeners will find Keith's approach refreshing.
He manages to tackle the tough topic of addiction with a light-heartedness that doesn't diminish its gravity but rather makes the message more accessible and relatable. His ability to blend humor with genuine advice creates an engaging experience that’s both educational and inspiring. If you're in need of a good laugh and some motivation on your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
Keith D's story is a testament to the power of resilience, community, and yes, even a good joke.
