I realized that the desire and fear around had gone. Your whole perspective shifts from 'I can't drink' to 'I don't have to drink' and that's what I have today.
Picture this: you're 18, facing a 'mini' psychotic break, and introduced to Alcoholics Anonymous. That's where John Barleycorn's story begins. In this episode of The Addictive Pod, John, host of A Podcast Greater Than Yourself, sits down with Adrian to share his tumultuous journey through alcoholism and recovery. His tale isn't just about hitting rock bottom; it's about the climb back up and the lessons learned along the way.
John opens up about the importance of Step 1 in AA, recognizing the problem, and surrendering control. He provides a no-nonsense guide on working the first three steps on your own, making amends, and staying sober. Whether you're contemplating recovery or already on your path, John's practical advice and raw honesty will resonate deeply. He also touches on the value of sponsorship and offers words of wisdom for those hesitant about taking the plunge into sobriety.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking for straightforward, heartfelt guidance on navigating life without alcohol.
