The Happiest Years of his life have been in sobriety
Imagine living a charmed life, only to have it nearly derailed by alcoholism in your forties. That's the story of Chris S., who shares his unique journey on this episode of 'AA Recovery Interviews'. Chris didn't come from a dysfunctional family riddled with addiction. In fact, he describes his childhood and teenage years as idyllic.
Despite dabbling in drinking during college and his time in the Navy, it wasn't until his forties that alcohol began to wreak havoc on his life. His career was thriving, he had a loving family, but his drinking habits escalated into full-blown abuse. It got to the point where his employers had to confront him about his drinking, putting both his job and marriage at risk. Realizing he needed help, Chris turned to Alcoholics Anonymous at the age of 48.
What followed was a transformative journey where he embraced the AA program wholeheartedly. He found a lifeline in his sponsor, who played a crucial role in helping him navigate the ups and downs of sobriety. Today, Chris proudly celebrates 35 years of sobriety, claiming these years as the happiest of his life. His story is a testament to the power of community and the AA program in turning lives around.
Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Chris's journey offers hope and practical insights into overcoming alcoholism.
