Ever wondered what it takes to stay sober for over six decades? Meet Dennis B., a man who has been sober since May 1962. In this episode of 'AA Recovery Interviews', host Howard L. sits down with Dennis to explore his incredible journey. Growing up in Manchester, England, in a family of coal miners, Dennis first tasted beer at the tender age of six.
By his late teens, he was already battling severe alcohol addiction, leading to stints in prison and multiple relocations in a desperate attempt to escape his demons. At 25, with his life spiraling out of control, Dennis finally turned to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and began attending meetings just as the program was gaining traction in the UK. Now, at 86, Dennis remains an active and enthusiastic member of the AA community, attending daily meetings both in-person and online.
He shares his wealth of experience and wisdom, offering a testament to the transformative power of AA. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and proof that long-term sobriety is achievable.
