How do individuals turn their lives around after addiction? Riley R, a grateful recovered alcoholic, shares his compelling journey of finding a power greater than himself on the SoberQ podcast. With a refreshing honesty, Riley discusses his early days at Alcoholics Anonymous, where the concept of God was central to recovery. Despite not being religious, he embraced the idea of a higher power, thanks to his sponsor's simple yet profound advice.
Imagine a scale from zero to 100, where zero is no belief in any higher power and 100 is having breakfast with God. All you need is a 1% chance that something bigger than you exists to help solve your alcoholic problem. Riley's story is one of transformation and hope. He candidly talks about his past life, living in a car and feeling hopeless, to now being a personal trainer and business owner with a healthy relationship.
His message is clear: remarkable things can happen if you're open-minded and willing to take action. The steps from three to twelve in the AA program have helped him build a spiritual relationship that continues to grow today. By working with sponsees and being of service at meetings, Riley feels closer to this power, which he credits for relieving him of his alcoholism. Riley's journey offers encouragement for anyone new to recovery.
He challenges listeners to ask themselves if there's even a slight chance that something greater could help them too. With honesty and willingness, the road to recovery opens up, offering a life free from the mental obsession with alcohol. So, are you ready to explore that 1% chance and see where it leads?
