We never know what's going to happen, yet we have this illusion that we think that we know what is going to happen. If you really and truly want to quit drinking liquor for good and all, not a day at a time, folks, for good and all, and sincerely feel you must have some help. I went to get anything, alcohol, drugs, food, sex, whatever, to get me out of myself if I just use half of that energy for this. God, as I understand God, will never let me, you, or us down.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn your life around after years of addiction? In this episode of Sober Cast, you'll hear from two remarkable individuals who did just that. First up is Alex, who found sobriety in 2006. In just ten minutes, Alex shares the raw truth about his descent into addiction and the pivotal moment that led him to seek a new way of living.
His story is a testament to the power of recognizing the need for change and taking those first, often terrifying, steps toward recovery. Following Alex, we meet Rowbie, who has been sober since 1986. With over three decades of sobriety under her belt, Rowbie reflects on her tumultuous past with honesty and wisdom. She emphasizes the importance of seeking help and addressing the inner turmoil that often accompanies addiction.
Her story is not just about surviving but thriving, offering hope to anyone who feels trapped by their circumstances. Recorded at the North Oakland AA Open speaker meeting, this episode is a treasure trove of real-life experiences and hard-earned wisdom. Alex and Rowbie's narratives highlight universal themes of struggle, transformation, and the unwavering support found in the fellowship of AA. Their stories remind us that no matter how dark the path may seem, there is always a way forward.
Whether you're on your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode offers invaluable insights and inspiration. It's a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, one step at a time.
