My problem was that I just never got enough women. And so I'd go to the meetings and they'd talk about God, and I couldn't say anything. I had three bulldogs die and I never thought about drinking a single time.
Imagine picking up your first desire chip, only to fall off the wagon soon after. That was Wayne's story back in December 1969. Fast forward to August 23, 1977, and he finally found his footing in Panama City, FL. In this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, hosts Don and Sam dive into Wayne's compelling journey of sobriety and self-discovery.
Wayne opens up about his early struggles with Step 1 and how he eventually made it a cornerstone of his recovery. He also delves into the daily practice of the 10th Step and how it continues to shape his life today. But that's not all—Wayne shares his personal battles with bipolar disorder and the importance of finding a God of his own understanding. He emphasizes the crucial role of support groups and community in managing life's unmanageable aspects.
Wayne's story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the transformative impact of AA. His candid reflections offer valuable lessons for anyone on their own path to sobriety. As Wayne puts it, 'Whatever it takes for you to do it- being pissed off about it, being doubtful of it or believing it'll work, whatever it takes- just do it'.
Tune in for an episode that's both inspiring and educational, shedding light on the importance of community and self-discovery in the journey to sobriety.
