Owl 105 Perry

Picture this: a man who seemingly has it all—family, home, career—but feels like an empty shell. That's Perry's story. In this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, hosts Don and Sam chat with Perry about his journey from spiritual bankruptcy to finding freedom in sobriety. Despite not losing his wife, home, or job, Perry felt his life was overshadowed by drinking. His successful career in the United States Marine Corps was even becoming a hindrance to his addiction.

With a sobriety date of August 25, 2017, Perry calls the Early Bird group in Greensboro, NC his home. He opens up about how alcohol impacted his life and career, leading to trouble with superiors and moments of deep embarrassment. But Perry's story doesn't end in despair. He shares how he found sobriety through faith and working the steps of AA, particularly step three, where he decided to turn his will and life over to the care of God.

The episode also delves into the benefits of sponsorship and the power of group consciousness and traditions in AA. Perry's tale is a powerful reminder that true recovery is about more than just quitting drinking—it's about finding spiritual fulfillment and support. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that could offer you new insights into your own journey.
