There was like a tilting point where it finally tilted enough to one side where I wanted to make a change.
Imagine living in a fog, losing track after just two drinks, and feeling a spiritual void. That was Tom's reality as his alcoholism took hold. In this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, hosts Don and Sam sit down with Tom to explore his tumultuous journey from the depths of addiction to the light of recovery. Tom recounts the pivotal moment when he heard a small, insistent voice telling him, 'You don't have to live like this anymore'.
It was a wake-up call that led him to Alcoholics Anonymous, a path familiar to him through his father's own experiences with AA. Initially attending online meetings, Tom eventually found solace and support in local gatherings, particularly at the Summit Fellowship Men's group in Greensboro, NC. Throughout the episode, Don and Sam delve into the importance of creating welcoming spaces within AA meetings, making it easier for newcomers to feel at home.
They also touch on the various hurdles individuals face when seeking help and how AA can be a lifeline in overcoming these challenges. Tom's story is one of resilience and transformation, highlighting the crucial role of spirituality in his recovery journey. Whether you're new to sobriety or looking for fresh inspiration, Tom's candid account offers valuable insights and hope. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that underscores the power of community and the possibility of change.
