When I was became free of the beast of alcohol that had me by the throat, it controlled everything about me, and the longer I was sober in The First Few Months of sobriety, I began to see how much I was ruled by alcohol.
Ever wondered how a former actor found his way out of addiction and into a life of sobriety? Scott's story is one for the books. In this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, hosts Don and Sam sit down with Scott, who got sober at 40 after a stint in treatment.
Scott’s journey took him from the glitz and chaos of Los Angeles back to the quieter streets of Knoxville, and it’s packed with twists and turns that are as compelling as any movie script. Scott opens up about his early days of sobriety in LA, where he went to a meeting at the Screen Actors Guild and ran into his old bartender—who, believe it or not, became his sponsor.
Imagine calling your dealer to ask them not to sell you drugs anymore! Scott did just that. He also talks about the mistakes he made, like attempting his 9th step too soon without his sponsor’s guidance, and how those experiences shaped his path to recovery. One key theme in Scott's story is the importance of community. Moving back to Knoxville was a turning point for him, allowing him to establish meaningful connections that were crucial for his recovery.
Scott also delves into the role of spirituality in his journey, sharing how his connection with a higher power grew stronger over time. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Scott’s tale offers valuable insights into the challenges and triumphs of sobriety. It's a raw, honest look at what it takes to turn your life around and find purpose beyond addiction.
