Doug's Road to Sobriety: From AA to Online Recovery

I owe my sobriety to a lot of people, and I keep paying that forward every day. You only get to keep what you're willing to give away.
Doug, known as Saddle Tramp on the IAS app, takes us through his winding journey to sobriety in this episode of the Sobertown Podcast. Doug's first brush with recovery began at just 21 while serving in the USAF overseas, but it wasn't until many years later that he found lasting support. After a series of setbacks, Doug discovered the magic of online recovery communities like sober24.com, which played a pivotal role in his sobriety since August 31, 2001.
In his candid chat, Doug shares how he navigated various recovery paths, including AA and Al-Anon, and emphasizes the crucial role of community and giving back. He credits local AA groups and the supportive circles at the Everett Recovery Cafe for helping him stay the course. Doug's story is a testament to resilience and the power of finding your tribe in recovery. Tune in to hear more about his experiences and the people who helped him along the way.
