You can admit that you're powerless over alcohol, but you're not doing the first step until you accept that you're powerless.
In this heartfelt episode of 'Courage to Hope', Tony LaGreca sits down with Bill Rozzi, a man who has battled addiction and emerged stronger. Bill shares his journey from a turbulent youth in Roslindale, where alcohol was his main vice, to achieving over 15 years of sobriety. He talks about the challenges of maintaining sobriety, especially after the tragic loss of his son, Brian, who struggled with sleep apnea and chronic fatigue before his untimely death.
Bill's story is one of resilience and the power of acceptance - he explains how truly accepting his powerlessness over alcohol was a turning point in his recovery. This episode is filled with raw emotions as Bill recounts the pain of losing his son and the strength he found in his family, particularly his grandchildren. His anecdotes about finding solace in small moments, like watching his grandson's hockey game, provide a touching insight into how he copes with grief.
Bill also highlights the importance of community and support systems, sharing how AA meetings and a grief counsellor helped him navigate his darkest times. This episode is a testament to the human spirit's capacity to heal and find hope even in the most challenging circumstances. Whether you're on your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Bill's story will resonate deeply and offer a beacon of hope.
