What emotional and inspiring tales of recovery are out there? Mick B. shares his captivating journey through addiction and sobriety in this episode of Recovery Radio Network. Mick, an AA member with over 20 years of sobriety, opens up about his early days in Alcoholics Anonymous, filled with scepticism and fear, especially when it came to the idea of a higher power.
His humorous anecdotes about his first meetings—where he thought he was caught in a book-selling scam—provide a lighter side to his otherwise heavy tale. Mick talks about his struggles with honesty and vulnerability, revealing how difficult it was for him to have an open conversation with another man without ulterior motives. He credits his sponsor, Steve, for teaching him the value of rigorous honesty and daily check-ins.
Mick's story takes us through his ups and downs, from considering extreme measures to support his family to ultimately finding peace in surrendering control to a higher power. Listeners will find Mick's raw honesty both relatable and inspiring, especially when he shares the moment he realised the importance of service and community in his recovery.
His candidness about the challenges of early sobriety and the ongoing struggle with life's hurdles offers hope to those who might feel they're alone in their journey. Mick's story is a testament to the power of community and faith in overcoming addiction. His message is clear: if you're struggling, you're not alone, and there is a path to happiness, joy, and freedom.
