Alcohol was that symptom for me that showed me the other diseased parts of my life, the other parts that were broken, and how grateful I am to have AA to help me sort of see those things.
Picture this: Ches, a member of Alcoholics Anonymous, dives deep into his journey of recovery with hosts Don and Sam on The Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast. Episode 006 is a heart-to-heart that starts with Ches recounting his early days of attending numerous AA meetings. He talks about the surprising comfort he found in a women's meeting, despite being the only man there. This episode is not just about meetings; it's about the real, gritty work of recovery.
Ches opens up about the financial chaos he had to clean up and the honesty he had to muster when dealing with creditors. His story is a testament to the transformative power of facing one's mess head-on and finding a way through it. One of the highlights is Ches' favorite prayer and his method of discerning between the voice of addiction and the voice of a caring God.
While some people have sudden spiritual epiphanies, Ches' experience was more of a gradual awakening, an 'educational variety' as he puts it. The conversation doesn't shy away from the tough stuff—Ches shares how he navigates challenging situations in sobriety and the importance of reaching out to newcomers. The episode also touches on the diverse personalities within AA and how to deal with them, making it a rich resource for anyone in recovery or supporting someone who is.
If you're looking for an honest, down-to-earth discussion on sobriety, financial recovery, and spiritual growth, this episode is for you.
