So thank you for them to share. Bernie alcoholic. You know, my entire life I've always been selfish, self-centered, not caring about anybody, you know. And boy, this time I'm taking advantage of it.
Feeling weighed down by life's baggage? Octavio knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Big Book Awakening', he opens up about his initial struggles when he joined Alcoholics Anonymous. Trust issues and a heavy past made his journey anything but easy. But with the help of a temporary sponsor, Octavio found his footing until he could secure a permanent one.
He shares a powerful lesson he learned: sometimes, letting go isn't giving up; it's making room for something better. His story is a testament to the transformative power of helping others and finding purpose in service work. If you're navigating your own path to recovery or supporting someone who is, Octavio's journey offers valuable insights into personal growth and the importance of community.
