In this episode of AA Recovery Interviews, Brian A. shares his compelling journey through the turbulent waters of alcoholism and into the calm seas of sobriety. Raised in a family where alcoholism was a constant shadow, Brian's life took a downward spiral from a young age. He started drinking at 13, finding solace in alcohol that he couldn't find elsewhere due to a severe skin allergy that isolated him.
His story is a powerful testament to the impact of addiction on both personal and professional life. Despite his success as a functional alcoholic, Brian's life began to unravel in his late 20s and early 30s. The turning point came when he sought help from a therapist who directed him to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Brian has now been sober for over 31 years and remains an active member of AA, helping others on their journey to sobriety.
His enthusiasm for AA is infectious, and his story is filled with both triumphs and trials, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in recovery. Brian's reflections on his past, his ongoing commitment to AA, and the support he found within the community offer hope and inspiration to those struggling with addiction.
