"One alcoholic will share experience, strength, and hope with another alcoholic, and both of them get better".
Join Jimmy D. as he takes you on a heartfelt journey through his experiences with Alcoholics Anonymous at the 73rd Kentucky State Convention. From the early days of AA in Kentucky to the present, Jimmy shares tales of camaraderie and resilience that have shaped his path to sobriety. With a dash of humour, he recounts the story of his home group in Dallas and how it all started with a simple meeting format borrowed from Chicago.
You'll hear about the pivotal role of sponsorship in his recovery, with two sponsors guiding him over 25 years. Jimmy's narrative is rich with anecdotes, like the one about his grandmother's tuna salad, which illustrates the transformative power of consistent effort and connection. Jimmy's story isn't just about his personal journey; it's a testament to the strength found in community and the importance of giving back.
Whether it's making coffee for meetings or answering calls for those in need, he highlights how small acts can lead to significant change. His reflections on the history of AA, including Jack Alexander's famous article, offer a glimpse into the impact of storytelling in spreading hope. This episode is a reminder that recovery is not a solitary path but a shared experience. It's perfect for anyone seeking inspiration or looking to understand more about the AA community.
