"I thought meetings and this book were what was going to keep me sober, but I learned it's much more than that",
In this gripping episode of Recovery Radio Network, Joe shares his raw and honest journey through the 4th Step of Alcoholics Anonymous. With a candid recount of his struggles, Joe delves into his experiences with multiple treatment centres and the stark realisation that traditional recovery steps weren't enough to keep him sober.
He describes how he initially approached the programme with a mix of hope and fear, only to find himself repeatedly let down by the very steps that were supposed to save him. Joe's story takes a transformative turn when he meets a mentor who guides him through the Big Book, offering a fresh perspective on recovery that goes beyond meetings and sponsorships.
The episode is packed with practical advice and spiritual insights, emphasising the importance of understanding one's personal triggers and the necessity of a holistic approach to sobriety. Joe's reflections on the threefold nature of addiction—physical, mental, and spiritual—provide a comprehensive understanding of what it truly takes to recover. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper grasp of the 12-step programme and the real-life challenges and triumphs that come with it.
Joe's heartfelt message and his journey towards wholeness offer a beacon of hope and practical wisdom for those on the path to recovery.
