I've I've learned so much from you over the years. And I have to admit there there are some meetings that for a while there that you were kind of a weekly regular in that on the occasions that you do make it there. And it's always good to see you in meetings and hear your words of wisdom.
Picture this: a young boy, only 18, already deep into the world of alcohol and drugs, facing a crossroads that would define his life. That’s Dan D.'s story, and it’s one you won't want to miss. In this special encore episode of AA Recovery Interviews, host Howard L. sits down with Dan to revisit his incredible journey from chaos to clarity.
Dan's early years were marked by family turmoil, with divorced parents and an alcoholic stepfather who introduced more fear than stability. By his teenage years, Dan was lost in a haze of alcohol and drugs, even resorting to theft to fuel his addiction. His rock bottom came when he robbed his parents' home for the umpteenth time, forcing them to give him an ultimatum: get help or get out. Dan chose treatment, and that decision changed everything.
Fast forward to today, and Dan has been sober since February 1986. But the road hasn’t been easy. He has faced numerous challenges, including a battle with multiple sclerosis. Yet, through it all, Dan’s dedication to the AA program has been unwavering. His story is a testament to the power of resilience and the transformative impact of sobriety. Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply seeking inspiration, Dan's story offers a beacon of hope.
Tune in to hear about the pivotal moments that shaped his path and the strength he found within the AA community.
