In the morning I get up and say: help me, and at night I go to bed and say thank you, and in between I read the big book and I stay sober.
Picture a 12-year-old starting to drink and spiraling into blackout episodes. That's Chris' story, one he shares candidly with hosts Don and Sam on this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast. Chris opens up about his early struggles with alcohol, painting a vivid picture of his life before sobriety. He talks about the chaos and failed attempts to control his drinking, which eventually led him to seek help in 1985.
Finding solace in the Summit Fellowship Men's group in Greensboro, NC, Chris emphasizes the power of community and prayer in his recovery journey. He shares how listening to others' fifth steps has been a game-changer, offering him insights and strength. Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on the path for years, Chris' story is a powerful reminder of the support and transformation that AA can offer.
