David's 37-Year Sobriety Journey: Embracing Change and Community

When I picked up a drink, I was rolling the dice...I always go back and think about the day before I gave up and where I was at.
Ever wondered what it takes to stay sober for nearly four decades? In this episode of the Sobertown Podcast, David opens up about his remarkable 37-year journey of sobriety. At 36, David was a regular at bars, having started drinking at 16. He vividly recalls the night he decided to take his last drink, a turning point that led him to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
Initially skeptical about the 12 steps and the concept of a higher power, David shares how his perspective shifted after two months of meetings. Miraculously, his obsession with alcohol vanished, leaving him puzzled yet grateful. David worked through the 12 steps, never slipped, and now considers himself free from cravings. He likens picking up alcohol to 'rolling the dice', emphasizing that if you can't drink safely, it's a serious problem.
Now, David is no longer an introvert; he's found a supportive community of friends who have been instrumental in his recovery. His message is clear: recovery isn't a solo sport. With friends by your side, the journey becomes manageable. David's story is a testament to the power of community and the importance of doing the work in front of you. Tune in to hear his inspiring tale and gain insights that might just help you or someone you love.
