Joe Hawk: Finding Unity and Peace in Sobriety

I never had a complete picture of why did I do what I did until I started looking at the idea that maybe I don't have a choice after I drink a couple, as to how many more I'm going to have.
Imagine battling addiction and finding a way to not just survive, but thrive. In this episode of 'Sober Speak', Joe Hawk sits down with host John M to share his remarkable journey to sobriety. Joe opens up about how the Alcoholics Anonymous 12-step program was his lifeline, guiding him through the storm of addiction to the calm of spiritual peace.
He explains the concept of alcohol allergy and how it uniquely affects chronic drinkers, shedding light on the often misunderstood phenomenon of craving. Joe's story is a deep dive into the importance of honesty, self-reflection, and spiritual growth in recovery. He also touches on the unity symbol in AA, represented by a circle with a triangle, and how it has been a beacon of hope for him.
Joe advises against the pitfalls of comparing oneself to others in AA, emphasizing instead the value of focusing on shared experiences and common goals. This episode isn't just about Joe's personal battle; it's a testament to the power of community and the transformative journey of sobriety. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that underscores the challenges and rewards of living a sober life.
