Boyd Watkins: From Shadows of Addiction to the Light of Recovery

I guess I was always trying to be okay by external stuff. But one of the promises in the fifth step is we can be alone at perfect peace and ease, and I could never be alone by myself.
Boyd Watkins' story is a heartfelt testament to the power of perseverance and community in the face of addiction. Growing up with an alcoholic parent, Boyd saw firsthand the devastating effects of alcoholism. Despite his best efforts to steer clear of the same fate, he found himself ensnared by addiction as an adult. His struggle reached a breaking point when he hit rock bottom and recognized the need for help.
Enter Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), the beacon that guided him through his darkest times. Boyd's journey wasn't a smooth ride; he grappled with the concept of a higher power and often questioned the program's methods. Yet, it was the unwavering support from sponsors and the AA community that helped him push through his doubts. Today, Boyd stands as a living example that recovery is attainable.
His story is a powerful reminder that with humility, support, and determination, anyone can overcome addiction and reclaim their life. Tune in to hear Boyd's moving journey and find inspiration in his resilience.
