My god got bigger that day, I am not kidding. The guys, we could still have the big book study in my living room on Wednesdays.
Picture yourself riding the waves of the Atlantic, feeling the rush of freedom and connection with nature. That's where Rich B from Ocean City, MD found his initial sense of peace. But it wasn't just the ocean that helped him navigate his way through life; it was also the supportive community and structured guidance of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). In this episode of 'Sober Speak', Rich B opens up about his unique journey from the surfboard to sobriety.
He shares how the energy and rhythm of surfing mirrored his recovery process, providing both a metaphor and a real sense of balance.
