The thing I did that probably saved my life, was I kept coming back, I kept coming back and nobody in the rooms ever shamed me, ever blamed me.
Ever felt like giving up on your journey to sobriety? Jimmy's story might just change your mind. In this heartfelt episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, hosts Don and Sam sit down with Jimmy, who first got sober in 1997 and again in 2008. Jimmy opens up about his rollercoaster ride through long-term recovery, relapse, and the path back to sobriety.
He shares how he managed to hide his relapse for years, only to reach a breaking point where he had to ask for help. His struggle with prescription medication for anxiety led him to question the value of AA meetings, which eventually resulted in him drinking again. But that’s not where his story ends. Jimmy’s tale is one of resilience and hope. He talks about the importance of community and the transformative power of the AA program.
His turning point came when he realized that he needed to keep coming back to meetings, no matter what. 'The thing I did that probably saved my life, was I kept coming back, I kept coming back', he says. This episode is a must-listen for anyone facing the ups and downs of addiction recovery. Jimmy's candidness about his self-doubt, isolation, and eventual redemption offers a beacon of hope for those struggling.
Tune in to hear how perseverance, faith, and community can make all the difference.
