I felt like when I went in that room, I was enveloped by a golden cover all over me and that I was safe, and that I got the feeling that God was in touch with me through the people in that room.
Meet Bob B., an 88-year-old with an incredible 47 years of sobriety under his belt. Known as an 'elder statesman' in his AA community, Bob's journey is a tapestry of highs and lows, marked by moments of despair and incredible resilience. Initially grappling with hopelessness, Bob's path was anything but smooth. He faced challenges like pride and ego, even as he extended a helping hand to fellow alcoholics.
His story isn't just about staying sober; it's about evolving spiritually and relying on a higher power to navigate life's complexities. When host Howard L. first met Bob 33 years ago, he was a tough character with stories of surviving knife fights and gunshots in shady bars. Over the years, however, Bob has become a figure of wisdom and inspiration. His journey is filled with lessons on humility, teachability, and the importance of making amends.
He speaks candidly about the ups and downs of sobriety, the gifts it brings, and the profound impact of faith on his life. This episode offers a rich narrative that's both cautionary and uplifting. Bob's experiences serve as a guide for anyone on the path to recovery, emphasizing that sobriety is more than just abstaining from alcohol—it's about continuous personal growth and spiritual awakening.
