Ever felt like you're losing a battle you never wanted to fight? Charlie P. knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Mad Dog Recovery AA Speakers', Charlie takes us through his raw and honest journey of addiction and the desperate search for control. Despite moving away from his hometown to escape his drinking habits, the bottle followed him. It wasn’t until he hit rock bottom that he finally turned to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) for help.
Charlie doesn’t sugarcoat his struggles with the program. He talks about the confusion he felt trying to understand the steps and the challenge of finding a sponsor who clicked. But he didn’t give up. Through sheer determination and the support of the AA community, Charlie found his way. He highlights how service and fellowship became pillars in his recovery, providing him with a sense of purpose and belonging he had never felt before.
One of Charlie's most poignant messages is about the illusion of control that many people with addiction face. He emphasizes that true freedom came when he admitted his powerlessness over alcohol and sought guidance from a higher power. His story is a testament to the power of community and the transformative potential of AA. If you or someone you care about is battling addiction, Charlie's journey offers a beacon of hope.
Tune in to hear how he found peace and purpose through the steps and fellowship of AA.
