What does it take to overcome addiction and find lasting sobriety? Chris R. shares his personal journey in this episode of 'Mad Dog Recovery AA Speakers'.

He warns against these pitfalls, stressing the importance of staying focused on the AA program to maintain sobriety. Chris also touches on the spiritual battles faced during recovery, including the negative self-talk that can undermine one's efforts. He encourages listeners to support newcomers in any way possible, reminding them that each day sober is a victory worth celebrating. Chris R.'s story is a powerful testament to the transformative impact of AA and the strength found in community support.
