The mental obsession is in the full knowledge of how I reacted to alcohol, because none of us are stupid.
Imagine being sober for over four decades. In this episode of 'Depression Cure', Dr. Steve Ilardi and Hew James sit down with 'Alan', a 70-year-old member of Alcoholics Anonymous who has been sober for an astonishing 40 years. Alan opens up about his personal experiences with AA, shedding light on what really happens in those meetings and why the program works for so many people.
He talks about the mental obsession and physical allergy to alcohol, his path through the 12 steps, and the pivotal role of sponsorship in recovery. Alan also delves into the sense of community and fellowship that AA provides, which he credits as a cornerstone of his long-term sobriety. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or trying to understand how AA can help a loved one, Alan's story offers valuable insights and hope.
Tune in to hear a heartfelt conversation that demystifies AA and showcases the power of support and commitment.
