Tim H. AA speaker

Tim H. takes the stage in this episode of Recovery Radio Network, sharing his heartfelt journey through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). With a blend of humour and sincerity, Tim reflects on his sobriety since April 12th, 1990, and the profound impact AA has had on his life. He introduces the concept of 'Noisy AA' versus 'Quiet AA', emphasising the unsung heroes who work behind the scenes, making sandwiches and serving coffee, which he believes are the true backbone of AA.

Tim's anecdotes are filled with gratitude for those who supported him along the way, from his sponsor Don to his 'grandbabies' in recovery, like Matt who recently celebrated eight months of sobriety. Tim's storytelling is both engaging and relatable. He recounts his early dreams of playing basketball and attending law school, which were derailed by his addiction. His raw honesty about his struggles and the moments of clarity that led him to sobriety are both touching and inspiring.

He shares how AA's spiritual principles have helped him rebuild his life, allowing him to be present for his family and community. Tim's message is clear: recovery is a continuous journey filled with small, everyday acts of kindness and support. He encourages everyone to stay at their 'sobriety stations' and be ready to help others, just as they were helped.

His closing thoughts remind us that the gift of sobriety is given one day at a time, and with it comes the responsibility to support others in their journey. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and a deeper understanding of the AA community. Tim's humour, honesty, and gratitude make his story a powerful testament to the strength found in fellowship and service.
