When I celebrated One Year of continuous sobriety, it became clear to me that the members of alcoholics anonymous had looked past what I said and what I did and what I thought and what I didn't think, and they accepted me for being powerless over alcohol.
Dave's story is a compelling tale of transformation that starts in a steel mill town where he grew up in a family of non-drinkers. Unlike many, Dave's first encounter with alcohol came later in life, during his college years. Introduced to drinking by an athlete friend, Dave quickly found that alcohol made him feel confident and outgoing. This newfound confidence, however, came at a steep price.
As he continued to drink through college and into his career as a schoolteacher, his life began to unravel. His marriage fell apart, and he found himself in legal trouble due to his drinking habits. An arrest for DWI became a turning point when he was given the option to attend a day drug and alcohol treatment center instead of serving jail time.
It was there that Dave met his first sponsor and began his journey to sobriety through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, Dave shares how the AA community embraced him, flaws and all, helping him take responsibility for his actions and find a path to recovery. His story highlights the importance of community support and personal accountability in overcoming addiction.
Tune in to hear Dave's full story and gain insights into the challenges and triumphs of maintaining sobriety.
