Sterling H. AA speaker

In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, Sterling H. takes the stage as an AA speaker from Belleview, NE, sharing his journey to sobriety and the transformative power of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). With a mix of humour and heartfelt gratitude, Sterling recounts his path from a life overshadowed by addiction to one filled with hope and recovery.

He opens up about his struggles, including his early years in New York City and his time in the United States Air Force, where alcohol was a constant companion through both triumphs and failures. Sterling's story is not just about his own recovery but also about the community that supported him along the way.

He thanks friends and fellow AA members who played crucial roles in his journey, emphasising the importance of showing up and being part of a supportive network. His anecdotes are peppered with wit, like comparing congratulating an alcoholic for sobriety to applauding a cowboy with haemorrhoids for staying off his horse – it's a necessary deal.

He shares the pride he felt when she graduated with honours, attributing his ability to be there for her to the principles and support he found in AA.
