I was 57 years old when I came to AA. I had been drinking alcoholically from the first time I drank.
In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, Dick Hall shares his raw and candid journey from alcoholism to sobriety. Dick opens up about his turbulent past, detailing how his life spiralled out of control due to his drinking habits. He recounts his first encounter with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and the emotional breakdown that led him to realise he needed to change.
With humour and honesty, Dick reflects on the significant moments that shaped his recovery, including his time in the Air Force and the numerous scrapes with the law that highlighted his addiction. He emphasises the importance of hitting rock bottom before being able to genuinely embrace the AA programme.
