I think I was always on some kind of substance, whether it be alcohol or drugs. That I can relate to, but I can see how that would be a psychic pain, it is. So the despair is that what drove you to aa and then, in Those Three Years in and out, is when the confusion was really the bigger thing.
Imagine piecing together fragments of your life through a haze of alcohol and drugs. That’s exactly what Randy faced during his tumultuous years of addiction. In this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, hosts Don and Sam chat with Randy, who candidly shares his journey from confusion to clarity. Randy recalls the chaotic period when he couldn't make sense of his memories and thoughts, a time marked by a desperate reliance on substances.
His turning point came after a blackout-induced injury from a fight, which propelled him to seek help from Alcoholics Anonymous. Despite relapsing multiple times, Randy found his footing in AA and has maintained sobriety since May 29, 2002. He talks about the importance of honesty and humility in his recovery process, and how he learned to accept difficult situations while trying new things.
The conversation also touches on the challenges of maintaining friendships with people who still drink and the necessity of surrounding oneself with positive influences. Throughout the episode, Don and Sam offer their own reflections, creating a rich dialogue that sheds light on the complexities of addiction and the power of recovery. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and a dose of inspiration.
