It's a bizarre feeling to hear people saying out loud my internal thinking, especially when you walk in and you say I can't relate to any of these people.
Imagine waking up in a hospital after an overdose, realizing something has to change. That's exactly where Thomas found himself before he began his journey to sobriety. In this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, hosts Don and Sam sit down with Thomas as he recounts his rocky road to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and what life looks like now that he's sober.
Thomas opens up about checking himself out of the hospital after detoxing and overdosing on chemicals, only to find himself at his first AA meeting. Initially skeptical, he soon discovered solace in the shared experiences of others, realizing he wasn't alone in his struggles. The conversation takes a deeper turn as Thomas discusses his resistance to the concept of God in AA and how he eventually embraced it as a cornerstone of his recovery.
He also emphasizes the importance of having a sponsor and incorporating meditation into his daily routine, which have been crucial tools in maintaining his sobriety. Don and Sam also delve into the benefits of home groups and feature their 'Ask an Oldtimer' segment, where seasoned AA members share valuable insights and advice. Through Thomas' candid storytelling, listeners are offered a raw and relatable look at the ups and downs of addiction recovery.
Whether you're just starting your journey or looking for inspiration to stay on track, this episode provides both hope and practical advice. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that could very well change your perspective on sobriety.
