In this gripping episode of AA Recovery Interviews, host Howard L. sits down with Dwight M., a man who has been sober for 35 years and has an incredible story to share. Dwight's journey began in the ghettos of Harlem, where he was introduced to alcohol as a toddler. By age six, he was already a thief, and by middle school, he was a gang member involved in daily criminal activities.
His life took a dramatic turn when he moved to Texas, only to find himself in another dangerous environment. Dwight's story takes you through his harrowing experiences in Vietnam, his struggles with PTSD, and his descent into drug running and dealing upon his return to the U.S. Despite these challenges, Dwight found a path to sobriety through Alcoholics Anonymous, where he has been an active member for over three decades.
His story is a testament to the power of community and the transformative impact of AA. Dwight's candid reflections on his life, both before and after sobriety, offer valuable lessons for anyone facing similar struggles. Tune in to hear how Dwight overcame seemingly insurmountable odds and found peace and purpose in sobriety.
