In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, Don P. shares his journey through alcoholism and recovery with raw honesty and a sprinkle of humour. Don's story begins with his first drink at 17 and spans over two decades of struggle, deception, and denial. His candid recounting of his experiences highlights the chaos that alcohol brought into his life, from blackouts and car accidents to legal troubles and strained relationships.
But it's not all doom and gloom - Don's tale is also one of redemption and transformation. He speaks warmly about the support he received from his sponsor and home group, and how the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous helped him find a higher power and a new way of living.
