I knew there was a place like me where people that drank like me were staying sober, and I helped myself into Alcoholics Anonymous and started doing the things that they started doing.
Imagine reaching a point where you feel utterly lost, only to find a path that leads to a brighter future. That's what Chris C experienced when he embraced sobriety through Alcoholics Anonymous. In this heartfelt episode, Chris takes us back to his early drinking days and the harrowing journey that led him to the doors of AA in 1987.
Speaking at the Pine Lake Speaker Meeting in Seattle, he recounts the moments of despair and the turning point that made him surrender to the program. Chris speaks with raw honesty about the 'incomprehensible demoralization' that brought him to his knees and the profound relief he found in identifying with others at AA meetings.
Guided by his sponsor and the transformative power of the 12 steps, Chris discovered a new way of living grounded in spirituality and trust in a higher power. He shares candidly about the practical steps he took to maintain his sobriety, from writing his inventory to following his intuition. Chris's story is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with alcoholism, showing that recovery is possible through connection and commitment.
Whether you're on your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a powerful reminder that there's always a way forward. Tune in to hear Chris's inspiring story and find strength in his words.
