Since That Day and since that hour I've never want to rob, steal or kill nobody...Today I don't have a record, not even running a stop sign, white, clean.
Imagine growing up in a world where crime and violence are the norm. That's the early life of Charles Po-Boy R from Conyers, GA. Raised by a sharecropper and moonshiner, Charles was no stranger to hardship. His path led him into a life of crime, resulting in multiple stints behind bars. But this isn't just a story of struggle; it's one of incredible transformation.
At the 3rd Sowega Roundup in Albany, GA in 1985, Charles shared his remarkable journey with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Charles' turning point came after years of being in and out of prison. Faced with a choice between continuing down a destructive path or seeking change, he chose the latter. Initially skeptical about AA, he eventually found a sponsor who guided him through the steps. The program's transformative power gave him a new sense of purpose and meaning.
In this episode of Sober Cast, Charles talks candidly about his tumultuous past, his initial reluctance towards AA, and the profound impact the program had on his life. His story is a powerful reminder that no matter how far we've fallen, there's always hope for a better future. Charles' journey is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about embracing change and finding redemption. If you're grappling with addiction or seeking inspiration, Charles' story offers a beacon of hope.
His testimony will move you, challenge you, and inspire you to take the first steps on your own journey to recovery.
