The hardest three words for an alcoholic are I-NEED-HELP, but two alcoholics talking together creates a power greater than self.
This episode of AA Grapevine's Podcast, titled 'Maybe That Someone is You', offers a blend of humour and heartfelt stories from those who have battled alcoholism. Hosts Don and Sam are joined by Mary M from San Ramon, California, who shares her candid journey from closet drinking to a life of sobriety. Mary reveals her 'moment of clarity' that led her to seek help and highlights the power of two alcoholics supporting each other.
The episode also features a fun segment, 'Stump the Thumper', where Mary's Big Book knowledge is put to the test. Her story underscores the importance of connection and community in recovery, offering both hope and a few laughs along the way. Chris from Woodbridge, NJ, also shares his group's efforts in 12th Step work using Grapevine magazine, illustrating the diverse ways members contribute to recovery.
Whether you're looking for inspiration or just a good chuckle, this episode reminds us that recovery is not a solitary journey but one filled with shared experiences and mutual support. Tune in for an engaging mix of stories, wisdom, and a bit of playful banter.
