There's nothing holy enough, there's nothing sacred enough, there's nothing strong enough, there's no amount of love, mercy or grace that's ever going to keep me from drinking. I'm going to drink till The Day that I die.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn a life around from the depths of addiction? Rick C from Iowa shares his gripping story in this episode of Sober Cast. Speaking at the Saturday Night Live at Pine Lake Speaker Meeting in Seattle back in 2013, Rick opens up about his struggle with alcoholism and his path to recovery, having been sober since 1986. His journey is marked by moments of sheer desperation but also by profound transformation and hope.
Rick recounts the pivotal moment when he realized he needed to change his life. It wasn't an easy road, but through the support of AA speaker meetings and workshops, he found his way to sobriety. He emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and making amends, which played crucial roles in his spiritual growth.
One of Rick's most powerful statements is, 'There's nothing holy enough, there's nothing sacred enough, there's nothing strong enough, there's no amount of love, mercy or grace that's ever going to keep me from drinking. I'm going to drink till the day that I die.' Yet, despite these dark thoughts, Rick's determination and the unwavering support of the AA community helped him achieve a sober life.
Rick's story is a poignant reminder that it's never too late to seek help and find hope. His narrative underscores the importance of community and personal resolve in overcoming addiction. Tune in to hear Rick's inspiring journey and discover how the principles of AA can guide anyone on their path to recovery.
