The fellowship is incredibly important to me.
Imagine starting your drinking career at just 15 and quickly spiraling into blackout episodes. That’s Doug’s story, and he shares it all on this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast. Hosted by Don and Sam, the conversation dives deep into Doug's life as a career military man who faced authority issues head-on while battling alcoholism.
Doug opens up about his early struggles with drinking, his eventual treatment in the Navy, and the spiritual awakening that helped him turn his life around. But it's not just about hitting rock bottom; it's also about the climb back up. Doug emphasizes the crucial role of fellowship in his recovery journey, highlighting how staying connected with others—both in and out of AA meetings—has been a cornerstone of his sobriety.
Whether you're in the military or navigating your own path to recovery, Doug’s story is a powerful reminder that support can come from the most unexpected places. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion filled with wisdom, resilience, and a dash of humor.
