The unexamined life is not worth living. We enter this process through this low point in our lives in some fashion. We have all kinds of different things, but at The End Of The Day the sunshine of the spirit is glistening and you feel so phenomenal about it, and it's exactly the same thing.
Bob W.'s life reads like a gripping novel, filled with highs and lows that many can relate to. A Viet Nam veteran hailing from a family riddled with alcoholism, Bob's post-war years were marked by a high-flying career in banking. But as his professional success soared, his personal life crumbled under the weight of addiction. By his late 50s, Bob found himself contemplating the same tragic end his father had chosen 25 years earlier.
However, a pivotal moment led him to AA, sparking a journey toward sobriety that would redefine his life. Despite achieving sobriety from alcohol, Bob continued to wrestle with other addictive behaviors for years. His story is a testament to the complexities of addiction and the relentless pursuit of recovery. Through the support of the AA program and the 12 steps, Bob eventually found a way to address his other addictions, leading to a more holistic recovery.
In this episode, Bob shares candid reflections on how addiction affected his relationships, the turning points that led him to seek help, and the ongoing process of examining one's life. His insights offer a raw and hopeful perspective on the challenges and rewards of sobriety. Tune in to hear Bob's compelling story and gain valuable insights into the transformative power of AA.
