The bottle beat me to death, beat me into total and absolute nothingness, and only then could I come to investigate Alcoholics Anonymous
Chuck C. takes the stage in this first part of a six-part series, sharing his remarkable journey of recovery from alcoholism. Recorded in 1975 at the Pala Mesa Men's Retreat, Chuck's story is filled with raw honesty and heartfelt humour. Born in 1902, Chuck got sober in January 1946, and his experiences offer a deep well of wisdom for anyone grappling with addiction.
His anecdotes, like chasing women and running from dogs, are both amusing and poignant, illustrating the complexities of his life before sobriety. He also touches on the profound realisations that came with his recovery, such as the importance of surrender and the impossibility of satisfying the human ego. Chuck's reflections on his spiritual awakening and the steps he took to rebuild his life are both inspiring and relatable.
This episode is not just for those in recovery but for anyone seeking insight into the transformative power of Alcoholics Anonymous. So, why not take a moment to listen and see how Chuck's journey might resonate with your own experiences?
