Curtis M., a long-time member of Alcoholics Anonymous, shares his riveting journey from the depths of alcoholism to a life of sobriety and service. Curtis opens up about his early struggles with resentment and anger, which led him down a path of heavy drinking starting in his father's bar. He vividly recounts the emotional turmoil and reckless behaviour that characterised his youth, including violent outbursts and academic failures.
Curtis's story takes a turn when he hits rock bottom, facing divorce and contemplating self-destruction. However, a conversation with a friend about AA sparks a life-changing decision. Curtis describes the profound impact of attending his first AA meeting and the relief he felt when he finally admitted, 'My name is Curtis, I'm an alcoholic.' From there, he embarks on a journey of recovery that includes service work, attending international conventions, and finding solace in the fellowship of other recovering alcoholics.
Curtis's tale is one of redemption and hope, highlighting the importance of community and mutual support in overcoming addiction. His story is a testament to the transformative power of AA and the enduring strength found in unity. If you're seeking inspiration and practical advice on staying sober, Curtis's heartfelt narrative offers both in abundance.
