Roger G. takes the stage in this episode of Recovery Radio Network, sharing his compelling journey through alcoholism and recovery. From the outset, Roger's humour shines as he talks about the considerate nature of AA meetings starting with a moment of silence for those still suffering. His sobriety date, 17th July 1975, marks a pivotal moment in his life, which he recounts with both gratitude and humility.
Roger's anecdotes from his early days in Chicago paint a vivid picture of his struggles and the harsh realities of alcoholism, such as witnessing people dying on the streets from the disease. He candidly discusses his family's history with alcoholism, his own near-misses with death, and the transformative power of finding spirituality through AA. With a mix of light-hearted humour and profound reflections, Roger illustrates the importance of community, faith, and the twelve steps in his recovery.
His story is not just about overcoming addiction but also about finding a meaningful life filled with love, acceptance, and gratitude. If you're looking for a heartfelt and humorous account of recovery, Roger's talk is a must-listen.
