The fact that I'm an alcoholic and I'm standing here talking to you people means quite a bit.

In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, Jack B. takes the stage as an AA speaker from 1975. Jack's storytelling is as vivid as it is humorous, starting with his late-night flight from Kansas City, where he jokes about the plane's mechanical issues and his dislike for flying. But beneath the humour lies a deep and moving narrative about his battle with alcoholism.

Jack recounts his journey from New York to Kansas, his struggles with understanding the disease, and the misconceptions he had about his father's drinking habits. He shares poignant memories of his childhood, marked by shame and fear, and how these experiences shaped his own battles with alcohol. Jack's story is not just about the past; it's about transformation and hope.

He talks about the moment he realised he had to change, the support he found in AA, and the spiritual awakening that came with it. His anecdotes about life in Kansas, interactions with his brother-in-law, and his raw honesty about his darkest moments make this episode both relatable and inspiring. Jack's message is clear: recovery is possible, and it can bring about profound change in one's life.

He leaves listeners with a heartfelt blessing, hoping for more people to find the same peace and purpose he discovered through AA. If you're looking for a mix of humour, raw honesty, and hope, this episode is a must-listen.
