But for myself, as I told you, I found the place where I actually feel a part of and it brought me back in society.
Picture this: a World War II hero who survived 20 harrowing months in a Japanese POW camp, only to return home and face a different kind of battle—alcoholism. That's the story of Pappy B, a member of the Flying Tigers and a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient. In this gripping episode of Sober Cast, recorded in San Francisco in October 1958, Pappy B recounts his incredible journey.
From the terrifying days of war to the struggles with detoxing in captivity, and finally, to finding solace and support in Alcoholics Anonymous, his tale is one of sheer resilience and hope. The episode not only delves into his wartime experiences but also highlights the transformative power of community and recovery. If you're in need of some inspiration or just a powerful story of human endurance, this episode is a must-listen.
