I became the person who helped everybody who wasn't drinking. Yes, I had occasional drinks, but it was not a big deal. By the time I got here, I was a nothing, absolutely nothing.
What does it take to stay sober for decades? In this episode of Sober Cast, you'll hear from two incredible individuals who have done just that. Mary D, sober since 1974, and Charlie B, sober since 1975, share their remarkable journeys at the 55th Connecticut State Convention in September 2013. Their stories offer a wealth of wisdom and hope for anyone on the path to recovery.
Mary D opens up about her early struggles with alcoholism and the pivotal moments that led her to embrace sobriety. She talks about the vital role that Alcoholics Anonymous played in her life, helping her not only to stop drinking but also to become a beacon of support for others. Her reflections on honesty and spirituality provide valuable insights into what it takes to maintain long-term sobriety. Charlie B's story is equally compelling.
He discusses the profound impact that alcoholism had on his family and relationships and how the love and support he found in AA helped him turn his life around. Charlie emphasizes the power of community and the importance of sharing stories within the AA fellowship. His journey highlights how support and connection can make all the difference in recovery. The episode also touches on the significance of online resources, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mary and Charlie reflect on how virtual meetings have become an essential tool for maintaining sobriety and staying connected with the AA community. Their experiences underscore the importance of adaptability and finding new ways to support each other, even when face-to-face meetings aren't possible. Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this journey for years, Mary D and Charlie B's stories will leave you feeling inspired and hopeful.
Their decades-long commitment to sobriety is a testament to the transformative power of Alcoholics Anonymous and the enduring strength of community and support.
