One of the problems that I've seen over The Years is that I mean people doing what we do and comparing and looking for the differences- and you know I've heard a million times in people's stories- be like: oh well, I thought I wasn't an alcoholic because I wasn't under a bridge or like whatever.
Imagine growing up with Alcoholics Anonymous as a backdrop to your childhood. That's Kevin's story. He first got sober at 17 but found himself drinking again at 25. In this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, Kevin opens up about his rollercoaster journey with sobriety. From run-ins with the law to hospital stays, Kevin's experiences are raw and real.
He talks candidly about how alcohol affected his relationships, especially with his child, and the hard lessons he learned along the way. Kevin's home group, Easy Does It in Greensboro, NC, has been a cornerstone in his recovery. Through heartfelt conversations with hosts Don and Sam, Kevin shares what finally worked for him—honesty, surrender, and the power of connection within the AA community. He highlights a common pitfall in AA meetings: comparing oneself to others.
'One of the problems that I've seen over the years is people doing what we do and comparing and looking for the differences,' he says. This episode dives into the importance of avoiding such comparisons and focuses on self-reflection and honesty. Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this path for years, Kevin's story offers valuable insights and a sense of camaraderie.
Tune in to hear how he navigated the ups and downs of his journey and found a way to make sobriety work for him.
