I don't care if your ass has fallen off, you don't drink, and I heard those same things and I took them to heart.
Ever wondered how someone stays sober for over three decades? Meet Bob, whose story of resilience and hope is nothing short of extraordinary. In this episode of Recovery Edge Cast, Bob dives into the heart of his 32-year journey through addiction and sobriety. He opens up about the early days of his recovery, the crucial role his sponsor played, and the importance of making amends—not just to others, but to himself as well.
Bob's take on spirituality is refreshingly unique; he believes in a higher power but doesn't feel the need for intermediaries like priests or religious figures. Instead, he trusts in his own judgment and abilities. But Bob's story doesn't stop at sobriety. He also shares his current battle with terminal lung cancer and how he's using the principles of AA to navigate this challenging chapter of his life.
Despite the diagnosis, Bob remains positive and continues to live fully, cherishing moments like his appointment to The Air Force Academy and watching his children grow up. For anyone grappling with addiction or facing tough times, Bob's story is a beacon of hope. He emphasizes the importance of carrying the message of sobriety to others while also maintaining one's own recovery. Tune in to hear Bob's invaluable insights and find inspiration in his unwavering spirit.
